Durham contractor Esh Construction announced its largest-ever contract after securing a £56m deal to create hundreds of homes on Teesside.
The company will build 296 homes at Grove Hill in Middlesbrough in its third affordable housing partnership with Thirteen. A groundbreaking ceremony has marked the start on site for the scheme which will see two, three and four-bedroom houses and bungalows built to replace homes demolished more than a decade ago.
The scheme is part-funded through Thirteen’s strategic partnership with Homes England and with a grant of £2.8m from the Government’s Brownfield Housing Fund. Tees Valley Combined Authority is responsible for approving the money from the Brownfield Housing Fund.
