I'm happy to be moved when these can be knocked down.' I don't like living here because there's too many problems with it, but I don't know where I will go. The 38-year-old said: 'I've lived in this flat for 10 years. They have also been earmarked for demolition, but Hani says he is happy to leave. Hani Hossenine is also the only remaining tenant in his block of flats on Ashmore Walk. 'My flat has two bedrooms and it's clean and tidy. It could do with some repairs, but it's better then where I used to live. The flat is a nice and comfortable environment. 'It would be very bad if they decided to knock these flats down. The 35-year-old said: 'It's such a peaceful place to live. Temitope Adegboye lives in Ringland Close, another low-rise block of flats off Bucknall New Road that has been earmarked for demolition. There's a lot of room in this block of flats just for us three.'

'We'd prefer the council to just update the flats and repair the jobs so we can stay where we are. They're now knocking down the car park to build another one. 'They knocked down the old bus station to build a new one and a shopping centre in its place, but that never happened. It's like Hanley bus station and Meigh Street car park. 'I'm against them knocking the flats down, it's just a waste of money. If they just refurbished these, it would be so much easier and people could move back in. 'I have friends that need two or three-bedroom flats. We will be sad to leave, but I can't see us moving in the next couple of years because there aren't many three-bedroom houses in this area. If they just did some repairs, it would cost them less. It's wasting money and I don't see the point. 'When they did the main road, they also installed new banisters in the tarmacking here. The doors cost the council a couple of grand each. 'We had all new doors and now they're knocking them down. The low-rise block of flats off Bucknall New Road where Craig Bourne and his family live They spent thousands of pounds about three or four years ago putting new fire safety doors in. 'It's just wasting money because these flats are still liveable. It would cost them less to refurbish the flats, the kitchen and bathrooms just need sorting. It's quick to get to Hanley and to and from work from here. My brother works at a garage nearby, my mum works on Victoria Road. We've not actually been told when we're actually moving.

We don't know if we're going to be here for another 12 months or five years. 'Everybody else has gone and we're just waiting to hear. But now we've been told they're going to knock them down and we're going to have to move.

'We've been here 10 years and we are happy here. 'I don't see the point in them being knocked down. It's just me, my mum and my brother in one flat on the top floor. He says the council should spend money repairing the flats, rather than knocking down their homes.
