The fabric of the estates may have improved since the 1990s but the lives of those within them has not. Cuts to social services; underemployment and benefits cuts have really taken their toll. Added to which all the decent properties have gone due to right to buy some 60% of which are now private rentals. People’s lives are tough today. And they are being ignored.

Absolutely agree. I guess I just wanted to point out that a lot of them are a long way from a) where they were in the '90s, and b) a lot of the places I noticed in Hackney in the '00s. Possibly sampling bias multiplied by anecdata.
Sort of #notallestates I guess.
