New council homes at Heol y Goron
Published: 23/03/2018
Five new Council properties were recently handed over to new tenants.
The properties were visited by the Leader of the Council, Cllr Aaron Shotton,
Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Housing Cllr Bernie Attridge and local
ward member Cllr Ray Hughes.
The site has previously been a garage site and had been a source of anti-social
behaviour which was having a detrimental impact on nearby residents.
The five properties were let to local people via a Local Lettings Policy and
are part of the Council鈥檚 Strategic Housing and Regeneration Programme (SHARP)
which aims to build 500 new social and affordable homes across 天涯社区.
Cllr Shotton said:
鈥淚 am delighted the Council continues to deliver on its promise of delivering
high quality, affordable homes which enable local people to remain living in
their local communities. The tenants we met are delighted with their new homes.鈥�
Cllr Attridge said:
鈥淭his scheme builds upon the success of other sites either completed or on site
at Connah鈥檚 Quay, Flint, Mold and Shotton. As a Council, we are committed to
broadening the SHARP to all parts of 天涯社区 so that all communities benefit
from the provision of quality new homes which also create jobs and employment
opportunities for local businesses.鈥�
Cllr Ray Hughes said:
鈥淭he old garages had become an eyesore and also caused antisocial issues for
local residents. Not only has the new scheme transformed the site, it has also
enabled young families to remain living in Leeswood and their children can
attend the local primary school.鈥�
