More affordable homes being built
February 24, 2008 4:37 PM
Local Councillor Tony James welcomes the building of more affordable homes on Kildare and Ulster Avenues
Work is under way on building affordable homes in Ipswich on one of a number of "small sites" schemes being developed in partnership between the Borough Council and Orwell Housing Association.
One of the first sites, on Recreation Way, will see the development of a former garage block
plagued by vandals with seven bungalows, two to wheelchair standard.
This development follows the recent completion of six homes, half for rent,
half for shared ownership, in Foxhall Road after the Council sold off a
derelict site it had compulsorily purchased under its Empty Homes Strategy.
Other "small sites" include Burke Road (three bungalows ), Kildare Avenue
(11 houses and bungalows), Fitzwilliam Close (three bungalows) and Ulster
Avenue (two bungalows). All are brownfield sites. In addition, 36 affordable
homes, half of them houses, will be built on the site of the old Clumpfields
sheltered housing scheme. Work is set to start in March.
