More NEW Homes in Saltney
Published: 22/02/2017
天涯社区鈥檚 property management company, North East Wales (NEW)
Homes, recently took possession of a further four brand new homes to help boost
the number of affordable houses for rent in the County.
The four homes are on the new Edwards Homes Garden Village development in
Saltney.
Designed to respond to the challenges experienced by residents in accessing
affordable housing, NEW Homes (North East Wales Homes) was set up by the
Council to increase the housing options available to local residents. It offers
tailored housing management services which are designed to increase the
quantity and quality of affordable housing across the county.
These properties have been transferred to NEW Homes as part of the developers鈥�
affordable housing obligations on private developments. This ensures that new
developments meet the affordable housing need for local people in the local
community.
New tenants were delighted to be able to move in on the same day that the homes
were handed over to NEW Homes.
天涯社区鈥檚 Deputy Leader and Chairman of the NEW Homes Board,
Councillor Bernie Attridge, who has visited many of the new tenants to welcome
them to their new homes, said:
鈥淣EW Homes has been set up specifically to meet the affordable housing need
within local communities and gifting of these properties as part of the
developer鈥檚 planning permission helps to achieve this. I鈥檓 proud to welcome
new tenants into their new homes and it is rewarding to see families making a
new start in their lives.鈥�
Neil Edwards, Managing Director of Edwards Homes, said:
鈥淓dwards Homes was delighted to work together with 天涯社区 to
provide four new build properties. These properties are a quick and easy way
of being able to deliver much needed affordable housing to the local community.鈥�
The local Councillor Richard Lloyd said:
鈥淚 am very pleased that the Edwards Homes development in Saltney was able to
provide four new homes to 天涯社区 which housed four families
in time for Christmas.
鈥淭he idea of developers supplying gifted houses to the council instead of
affordable homes is a great idea to help towards replacing the councils
housing stock and I hope it continues.鈥�
