19 - Future of the high rise with Stephen Llewellyn, Debra Campbell and Mairi Clark

The Scottish Housing News Podcast

Ahead of a BiteSize Briefing on the Future of High Rise Housing to be held later this month, Jimmy Black and Kieran Findlay lead a roundtable discussion on the topic with SHARE's learning & development officer Debra Campbell, who is organising the event, Stephen Llewellyn, head of housing solutions at North Lanarkshire Council, and Mairi Clark, marketing and events officer at SHARE and herself a high-rise tenant.

Stephen talks at length about North Lanarkshire Council's decision to demolish all 48 tower blocks over the next 25 years and its ongoing consultation with residents. Also, the panel share their experiences (both good and bad) of living in high rise homes.

Jimmy Black has written a blog to accompany the episode, here:
