Blackpool-based RP Tyson Construction has signed a £10m contract with its local council for the redevelopment of housing at Troutbeck Crescent in the town.Six blocks totalling 81 flats at Troutbeck Crescent are scheduled for demolition. RP Tyson Construction will build 75 new homes in their place. The plans were approved by Blackpool Council in June.The council said that the old flats had become ‘difficult to let’ due to their shabbiness and so it had decided to knock them own and start again rather than refurbish.All of the new homes, designed by architect Cassidy & Ashton, will be council-owned and managed by Blackpool Coastal Housing.The new development is expected to be completed by summer 2021.
