SAN FRANCISCO: Steel shipping containers could be converted into small homes to provide cheap accommodation in Kirkby, if plans are approved.
The land off Greenwood Drive, close to the junction of The Hill, has planning permission for two semi-detached homes but it is claimed Japanese knotweed (JKW) on the land has deterred any investment.
This is according to Park View Kirkby Ltd, which suggests in its place they use cost-effective containers that can be converted into six small apartments.
