Streets on an affordable housing scheme in Nottingham have been named after two former civic leaders from the Windrush generation. The two streets are on the £4.7 million Tuntum Housing Association scheme recently completed off Woodborough Road, in the north of the city.
The new Des Wilson Mews is named after the first black Lord Mayor of Nottingham, while Tony Robinson Close has been named after the city’s first black Sheriff. The families of both men took part in a formal opening ceremony alongside Chartered Institute of Housing president Lara Oyedele, former Nottingham City Council leader Jon Collins and Nottingham East MP Nadia Whittome.
The new scheme includes 17 houses and 11 flats for individuals and families on low incomes to rent at affordable rates.
