Shake me up Judy Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Why are they knocking down a social housing estate that's only thirty years old ? Who built them ? Have reasons been given ? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-in-man Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 To move the druggies to Douglas and make Peel and lovely seaside City? (they'll need to do a lot more than that to improve the place). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Onchan Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 If the DOI have any input then Peel will end up looking like any other seaside town in the UK; pseudo granite, lots of pedestrian areas that are not really pedestrian areas, unnecessary street furniture, coloured tarmac etc etc. Whatever they do it will look bland and uninteresting. Oh....and fuck it up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blade Runner Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I did a few commissioner house builds on the island in the late 90's. We were sometimes called back to new build houses with "Snagging Defects" that were things like "Damp/ mould" The "Damp/ mould" thing was always because people would not open their windows when they were doing a huge moisture producing event, like - In Winter, drying clothes on radiators Showering - 4 or 5 peeps one after the other in a very small room Making Sunday lunch .Home owners tend to work out what causes these problems and change their actions Social housing peeps tended to say- "I cant afford to open the windows (let heat out) so the commissionaires should sort the damp/ mould out" The Commissionaires, being elected by the masses tried to make a round peg fit in a square hole and that is part of the reason I gave up on the island. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 There is a lot of truth in your post Blade Runner. A lot of these mould problems are caused by stupid tenants/residents/owners, as you've described above. You can't tell 'em though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern homes with central heating, double-glazing, power showers, modern kitchens, washing machines etc. Without air-flow and ventilation...

No, it's none of those things - it's council house tenants that are the problem. And we're all druggies 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
