Darlaston South councillor Paul Bott has said the demolition work on the house on Lowe Avenue in Darlaston should tell anyone planning on building without permission in Walsall that the council will enforce changes, including demolition orders, on them.

The enforced demolition of the extension work brings to an end a four-year saga which saw the extension built alongside a three-bedroom house without planning permission and which led to residents complaining of noise and other issues from the building work.
