PLANS: The former Mr Lucky Bags building.

- Phil Corrigan Local Democracy Reporter

A DERELICT industrial unit is set to be demolished to make way for new housing.

The former Mr Lucky Bags building in Portland Street, Hanley, has been out of use for years and has become a magnet for arson, fly-tipping and antisocial behaviour.

Stoke-on-Trent City Council is now set to purchase the site and apply for funding to bulldoze the eyesore building, allowing it to be redeveloped with around 40 new homes.

Council leaders believe the location is 'ideal' for housing and would only require a 'relatively small sum' to acquire.
