Much of Gildas Avenue in Kings Norton, Birmingham has already been demolished, while other houses remain derelict and have been boarded up as most people moved out years ago.
Gildas Avenue in Kings Norton has a high crime rate and attracts fly-tipping. But 16 years after being set for development, not a single brick has been laidResidents of a deserted road earmarked for development for 16 years have branded the area a 'ghost town'.
Gildas Avenue has in the past been labelled a 'no-go' zone due to sky-high crime rates, and is the final part of a plan for 1,000 new homes on the former Primrose and Pool Farm Estate. The proposed plan for the estate covers 117 homes at three sites - Barratts Road, Bentmead Grove, and Gildas Avenue. A mix of bungalows and two-storey houses have been retained on the 2.87 hectare site
'This area just looks abandoned right now - like a ghost town. The area looks different to how it was a few years ago, because of all the demolition work, but in terms of crime and stuff it's just the same. Kathleen said: 'We haven't heard anything about the development for a hell of a long time. I think the work will happen eventually, but god knows when.
