4(2) of Schedule 5A of the Housing Act 1985 to serve further Initial Demolition

Notices on all secure tenants within Phase 4;

(3) subject in the case of Phase 4 to the Secretary of State’s consent being

consultation carried out with Council tenants as set out, the management of

the remaining Council owned properties on the estate be transferred to
