The Fight for Council Housing

Mainway Estate, Skerton, Lancaster

Since July 2023 we've been organising with residents of the Mainway council estate in Skerton where two blocks of council homes have been sold to a private developer, leaving residents displaced and in limbo. New homes have been promised by the council, as part of a new development on the old Skerton High School site, which will be part council homes and part ‘affordable housing’, but this might take years to complete.

We are campaigning for housing justice for the residents of Mainway, as part of a larger fight for more council homes for all, to ensure that Lancaster City Council honurs their duty of care to council tenants and fulfils their promise of new housing.
