abstract
  • Hyson Green Estate was a mixed rise housing estate located in Hyson Green, Nottingham. The estate of 593 flats and maisonettes had problems and design defects. The Hyson Green Tenants Action Group enumerated a number, including, water penetration, dampness, condensation, poor heating arrangements, white and brown asbestos, refuse disposal problems and very poor soundproofing. Repairs and maintenance costs were twice the city average. The tenants themselves, about 25 per cent of whom were from ethnic minorities, also had problems: 90 per cent on benefits, 50 per cent unemployed, one-third single parents. There had been serious problems of arson in flats and common areas, and there was a high rate of flat abandonment. Based upon this Nottingham City Council decided to demolish the flats in 1984 and replace them a mix of new houses and an Asda supermarket. The flats were demolished in 1987. The only surviving building from the original development is the tower block Braidwood Court.
