Tower Hamlets towers saved from demolition

Residents in two east London tower blocks, Treves House and Lister House, are celebrating a Tower Hamlets Council U-turn that will save the buildings from demolition. Mayor John Biggs confirmed that plans to demolish the 1950s towers had been shelved. A new expert report into options for the blocks had proposed a £1.8m plan to refurbish them, with new roofs and windows being the main work needed.
