A great thing going on in Ashford and Stanwell at the moment is the major regeneration of tired and outdated housing estates.
However I do take exception to the term “decanting” when referring to the temporary relocation of residents (both tenants and owner-occupiers), whilst their houses are being rebuilt.
You decant wine from a bottle to leave the dregs behind. I accept that overuse by officialdom has allowed dictionaries to include the decanting of people in this context, but I think it treats them like commodities.
So just stick to the term temporarily rehouse.
