New build programme
For the first time in 20 years we are hoping to build new council homes in the district.
We have already started building two new bungalows in Sidmouth for people with disabilities. These are due for completion in spring 2010. Using sustainable materials wherever possible, as well as renewable energy supplies, the bungalows will be cost-effective to live in.
As well as this we have been successful in bidding for a social housing grant administered by the Homes and Communities Agency, the Government’s single housing and regeneration agency for England, through its Local Authority New Build project. We will match this investment of more than £1 million to enable us to provide 17 new homes in four different areas. More information can be found here.
