Seven of Cloverdale’s unsightly properties have received demolition permits and are in the process of being destroyed.

The proprieties have been neglected for a few years, according to neighbours, and were purchased in July by Canada Nanyang Investment Holdings Ltd. to be developed.

Following the purchase, the properties continued to be neglected, prompting one neighbour to say the demolition permits couldn’t come soon enough.

The demolition permits were issued last week, and the first property was demolished on Monday afternoon.

According to Surrey’s community enforcement manager Martin Blais, the properties will be demolished one by one throughout the next week.
