A blighted property in West End that city officials say has been a scar on that area for too long is being demolished.
Birmingham city leaders announced today that demolition of Larkway Gardens begins tomorrow morning, Wednesday, February 17, at 9 a.m. following asbestos removal.
In an interview with WBHM last year, Councilwoman Sheila Tyson called Larkway Gardens one of the worst examples of how blighted properties attract crime and make communities unsafe. She says the city was far too lenient with the property’s owners for far too long.
