As part of a programme of housing improvement to deal with long-standing social problems in the area, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister chose to fund the demolition and rebuilding of Kirby Street. By July 2007, most inhabitants had moved out and certain building materials had been crudely removed by persons unknown, leaving the scene shown here.
