Major plans for a town hit by a criminal gas explosion nearly five years ago will include the building of more than 70 homes.
Detailed proposals for New Ferry’s regeneration are now being drawn up, with plans for 71 homes confirmed. The news comes nine days before the fifth anniversary of Pascal Blasio’s deliberate blowing-up of his own furniture store in March 2017, which injured 81 people and devastated the town.
M&Y Maintenance and Construction will build 71 new homes, including 20 one and two-bedroom apartments, and 31 two, three and four-bedroom houses which will be available for rent-to-buy through Liverpool-based property company Redwing. A further 14 one and two-bedroom apartments, plus six two-bedroom houses, will be built for affordable rent through social housing provider Regenda Homes.
