Brunswick Private Finance Initiative (PFI)

Brunswick has lots going for it. It benefits from a strong sense of community and enjoys a great location on the doorstep of the vibrant city centre.

But the area needs major investment to bring the homes and environment up to decent modern standards. The private finance initiative (PFI) will bring in massive investment to transform Brunswick, including:

• improvements to more than 650 council homes - including new kitchens and modern bathrooms
• creating nearly 500 new high-quality homes for sale and for rent with a good mix of property types and values
• new sheltered housing for around 60 older people
• improving the layout of the neighbourhood with well-kept streets and safe open spaces
• upgrading local shopping and community facilities, including a new neighbourhood office.

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, 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.

We've already started to make way for the regeneration by demolishing the Hillside resource centre and the old Medlock infant school.
