A Nottingham community hopes new homes in their area will make their neighbourhood "more secure". Work to build 106 council homes in Top Valley resumed this week following the appointment of a new contractor, said Nottingham City Council.
The original contractor appointed to build the homes – 23 one-bed flats, 63 two-bed houses and 20 three-beds – on the site of the former Eastglade School in Whitcombe Gardens ceased to trade last September. Lovell Partnership stepped in and on Monday, July 3, restarted work to complete the build of the first phase of around 50 homes.
It aims to have local people on the council’s waiting list move in on a phased basis from late October this year to mid-February 2024, said Nottingham City Council. Works to build the second phase of homes on the site will then begin, so that all 106 properties can be occupied as soon as possible, according to the council.
