A SALFORD councillor has warned 'slum clearances' could return to the city unless older homes are improved.
Bill Hinds, a cabinet member at the town hall, said Salford's ageing housing stock needs to be kept in good condition to prevent living standards in the city dropping.
Salford witnessed slum clearances take place in the 1950s and 60s, when rows of terraced houses were demolished to make way for newer homes after some people were left living in overcrowded properties. The living conditions at the time led to concerns about healthcare and poverty.
Salford mayor Paul Dennett said in January that the city is facing a housing and homelessness 'crisis' right now, with a growing population and fears over the number of affordable homes available.
