Work has started on 48 new homes for social rent on the site of a former amateur rugby league clubhouse in Eccles. ForHousing is building the properties where Salford City Roosters RLFC had its base.
The housing group says the development will be made up of 30 apartments and 18 two and three-bedroom homes for social rent, including four bungalows that are accessible for wheelchair users, on Hallsworth Road, and will be ‘truly affordable and eco-responsible’. The Salford City Roosters are retaining a smaller site with enhanced facilities at their new clubhouse which is closer to their rugby pitches.
Homes England has granted £3.6million of funding to the £9m development being delivered by ForHousing, which owns and manages more than 24,000 homes across the North West. Designed by JDA Architects, the scheme is earmarked for completion in early 2024.
