MORE than £100 million will be spent repairing run-down housing estates because they have been neglected for so long.
A massive five-year refurbishment programme is under way and it is currently costing up to £80,000 a property to repair some homes.
This week Housing Minister Terry Le Main and members of his department showed the Health, Social Security and Housing Scrutiny Panel around the Island’s estates.
Speaking to the JEP at Clos de Roncier, panel chairman Senator Alan Breckon said that the refurbishment programme was long overdue. ‘The States have ignored their housing stock and they haven’t maintained them,’ he said.
