The Etruria and North Shelton areas form the western region of RENEW’s City Centre South Area of Major Intervention (AMI). 

In Etruria there has been a gradual movement from industrial uses to increasingly more modern housing and apartment development.

RENEW has invested almost £16m in land assembly by buying more than 200 mainly poor quality homes in four housing clearance areas along with several purchases of strategically located business premises. 

In addition, around £1.5m has been invested in to direct works to 170 retained properties, the environment and the creation of a small pocket park in Chamberlain Street.  Options for the construction of new homes on cleared sites are currently in development.

The Community Centre in Rectory Road, Shelton, and the Neighbourhood Worker are also RENEW North Staffordshire-funded via housing association partners Sanctuary Housing.

It looks absolutely brilliant, as good as a new house! It makes me feel proud to live here.

I will be glad to go. It’s not a nice place to live... There’s no community left here any more.
