Brunswick Private Finance Initiative (PFI)
The improvements
Many council homes in Brunswick need major investment to bring them up to decent modern standards. The neighbourhood faces some crime and parking problems and a lack of housing choice and local facilities.
But Brunswick has a lot going for it - especially its great location on the doorstep of the vibrant city centre. It benefits from a strong sense of community too - local people are committed to helping secure the area's successful future.
The private finance initiative (PFI) would bring in massive investment to transform Brunswick. The plans include:
- improving council homes to good modern standards - which could include new kitchens and bathrooms
- creating new high-quality homes for sale and for rent with a good mix of property types and values
- improving the layout of the neighbourhood with well-kept streets and safe open spaces
- upgrading local shopping and community facilities
- making good use of the infant school and health centre empty sites
Planning for a better Brunswick
To make these improvements and transform Brunswick into a safe and attractive environment, we'll need to re-design some of the neighbourhood. This means demolishing some properties. But don't worry: we guarantee that anyone affected by the demolition who wants to stay in the area will be rehoused here. Most of the demolished properties will be replaced with new council homes.
