High-rise Black Country blocks to be demolished three years early
Four outdated high rise blocks in the Black Country are to be demolished three years earlier than planned.
Dudley Council has announced plans to knock down Arley Court, Compton Court, Wells Court and Manor Court in Netherton.
The authority says the move will save it £6 million and help fund new social housing.
The buildings are no longer deemed fit for purpose with huge repair bills.
Demolition was originally set to take place in 2023. But council leader Patrick Harley said his administration wants to "act in a timely manner" after the deadline was brought forward.
