Tenants are set to begin being rehoused in December as Paradise House in Foleshill will be bulldozed
Residents of a Coventry flat block are set to be rehoused ahead of a major redevelopment project. Paradise House on Eden Street in Foleshill will soon be demolished.
Citizen Housing, which owns Paradise House, announced that the building will be bulldozed following detailed assessments and surveys. Residents will be provided with new homes while the site is redeveloped.
Some reportedly said their flats are hard to heat, increasingly in need of repairs, and no longer suitable for modern living. Citizen concluded that even major investment could not bring the block up to the required energy standards.
Tenants are set to begin being rehoused in December, with the process likely to take up to two years. Letters have been sent detailing the steps and timeline of the project.
Citizen plans to redevelop the site after the demolition of Paradise House, with the aim of delivering high-quality family housing. Coventry City Council and the wider community will be asked for their input before any redevelopment plans are finalised.
Bridget Guilfoyle, Director of Asset Management at Citizen, said: “Paradise House has been home to many people for a long time, and we understand how much it means to our customers.
“Our priority is to create better living conditions for the future and make sure we find homes that meet our customers' needs. We will be fully supporting our customers throughout this process.”
