    Following the land-swap seven Kick Start sites have been identified as suitable and available for early development.  The purpose of the Kick Start sites is to:
    • be the first phase of the overall regeneration project
    • provide a total living environment as soon as is practicable for people living in unsound buildings
    • provide developed sites to house tenants decanted from neighbouring Woodberry Down properties, which will in turn be demolished and redeveloped
    The seven Kick Start sites are:
    Site 1:    The Old School Site
    Site 2:    Woodberry Grove North
    Site 3:    151 Woodberry Grove , Oakend House, Parkfield House and the Shopping Parade

    Site 6:    Denitist, hotel, adjacent houses, Horston and Sherwood blocks
