Cooper Close, Waterloo Road, a smart block of flats which was completed last April. But it is still empty, rotting away while housing lists grow longer. It was built by the Greater London Council but instead of letting the 63 flats they decided to sell to a housing association. The buyers, Greater London Secondary Housing Association, planned to dispose of the flats under a co-ownership scheme. However, plans have delayed after the GLC and the Government went to war after the GLC discovered that the cost of building exceeded the market value of the flats. 10th January 1980.
