Dear Mr *******

Thank you for your enquiry. We do have some printed material on the
Comprehensive Estates Initiative, such as a 1999 pamphlet entitled
‘Holly street estate: blueprint for success’ and ‘Comprehensive estates

A date for reopening has not yet been set, but when one is it will be
advertised on our website, which would be the best place to gain
information.

Best wishes
