I’ve been coming past this open space near Winson Street for the past 5 years and this derelict building has been there for all that time. Can we get rid of it please. Here’s a video I took of it.

Yes, its an eyesore. Why has it been there for over 5 years? Surely the Council can make the owner do something about it.
It’s a shame that this building is just sitting there when there are very little in the way of youth centres in the area.
Sites like this one bring a bad vibe with them and create a central place to fly tip.
Someone needs to hear the views of these guys and answer with some sort of action even if it’s just cleaning it up for a start.
