Work on demolishing and rebuilding the 60 houses in the Inner Circle at Upper Pulrose will begin in the next few weeks.
The Town Council has reversed an earlier decision to refurbish, after discovering the cost would be very similar to the £12 million required for replacement.
The Outer Circle homes won't be rebuilt, but will be given a major overhaul.
Leisure Services Committee Chairman Doreen Kinrade (pictured) is pleased for the tenants that progress is finally being made:
Ramsey Swing Bridge 'a key line' for businesses
It's closed for essential repair works
Protecting farmers from impact of climate change 'a no brainer'
