New tenants rights will be at the heart of the
regeneration of some of the country’s most deprived estates, according to Lord
Heseltine. A panel will look at how the
layout of estates can be best used to deliver more quality homes that people
can buy and rent. The experts will also ensure that there are strong
protections in place for existing residents so they will always be given the
right to return to their communities. The 17-strong group, co-chaired by Lord
Heseltine and Housing Minister Brandon Lewis and reporting to the Prime
Minister and Communities Secretary Greg Clark, will develop a national estate
regeneration strategy and work with up to 100 estates to tackle deprivation and
transform them into vibrant communities. Read more on the CLG website.
