Under the last government, 拢2.2 billion was spent regenerating areas in the north of England and the Midlands to make them more attractive to new homeowners in what were known as Pathfinder schemes. Eight years into the initiative, the Coalition Government scrapped it because, it was argued, instead of rejuvenating local communities, there had been an obsession with demolition. Adrian Goldberg investigates what's happened to the families stuck between the policies of two governments and left marooned in desolate streets. And he asks why, despite promises against further demolition, yet more taxpayers' money is being spent knocking down homes.
