The government said it will work with 100 housing estates nationwide to transform them or knock them down and replace them with high quality homes.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in the Sunday Times, Prime Minister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/people\/david-cameron\" target=\"_blank\"><span>David Cameron<\/span><\/a> said: \u201cWithin these so-called sink estates, behind front doors, families build warm and welcoming homes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut step outside in the worst estates and you\u2019re confronted by brutal high-rise towers and dark alleyways that are a gift to criminals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDecades of neglect have led to gangs and anti-social behaviour. And poverty has become entrenched, because those who could afford to move have understandably done so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cameron added: &#8220;For some, this will simply mean knocking them down and starting again. For others, it might mean changes to layout, upgrading facilities and improving local road and transport links.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Prime Minister said it was time to tackle the issue head on and improve the social outcomes for people living in these so-called \u201csink\u201d estates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor decades, sink estates \u2013 and frankly, sometimes the people who lived in them \u2013 had been seen as something simply to be managed. It\u2019s time to be more ambitious at every level,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe mission here is nothing short of social turnaround, and with massive estate regeneration, tenants protected, and land unlocked for new housing all over Britain, I believe we can tear down anything that stands in our way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cameron said three out of four rioters in 2011 came from sink estates.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The riots of 2011 didn&#8217;t emerge from within terraced streets or low-rise apartment buildings. The rioters came overwhelmingly from these postwar estates. That&#8217;s not a coincidence,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The government hopes regenerating these areas will enable them to become thriving communities were people want to live and work.<\/p>\n<p>The nationwide strategy will be supported by a new Estate Regeneration Advisory Panel. This will be chaired by Lord Heseltine, who has been an advocate and champion of regenerating Britain\u2019s inner cities. A report from the panel is expected to be delivered by this year\u2019s Autumn Statement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime Minister David Cameron has committed to regenerating some of the nation\u2019s worst housing estates with safe, attractive properties\u2026 The government has promised to remove some of the worst housing estates across the country and replace them with new, fit for purpose homes.
