    Is it true we are going to have to bid for the properties we are going to be moved to during the renovation?

    Hello Brian, 

    It's not been totally decided how this will work yet. 

    Over the coming weeks the masterplan for the whole Mainway estate will be developed with residents and this will set out what work is going to take place. The masterplan should be finalised by spring 2023. This will help us understand which residents are affected by works, when, and for how long. 

    It's possible you will then have to bid for properties in order to vacate your home for works to take place, but not definite. We will give you plenty of notice either way. If you are required to bid for properties we will support you in doing this.

    Hope this helps

    Pete Linsley

    Hello!
    A letter has gone out to all tenants and leaseholders this week which explains that if you are in Derby House or Lune House you may be directly affected by the forthcoming cabinet decision. If that is the case could you please email us a mymainway@lancaster.gov.uk for a chat about what this means for you.
    If you live elsewhere in the estate there is still nothing set in stone and there is nothing your landlord currently needs to do. All tenants and leaseholders will be given plenty of notice if and when this changes.

    Are the tall blocks of flats going to be demolished?

    We don't know. The project has been looking at every possible option, from refurbishment to a full redevelopment that could involve knocking down some current buildings in order to rebuild. So, the answer is, it's a possibility, but nothing has been decided yet.

    It's too early to say. As soon as the detail of the project starts taking shape we will talk about these things with all affected residents. Moving residents in and out will be a complicated task and we will be working a plan to do this with the minimum of disruption - where we can minimise the inconvenience we will do this as much as possible.
