Work has begun on new council homes after the demolition of old garages. Eight new homes will be built across two sites in Kirkby in Ashfield.
Three two-bedroom homes will be built on the council owned garage site on Darley Avenue, and five two and three-bedroom homes on Spruce Grove. These family homes will add to the council's housing portfolio, which in the past year has seen more than 50 council homes built and a further 62 planned.
This includes 15 family homes on derelict garage sites in Hucknall, including on Barbara Square, Hawthorne Avenue, Chatsworth Drive and Chesnut Grove. Cllr Andy Meakin, Ward Councillor for Abbey Hill, said “It is fantastic that work has started at these two disused sites in Kirkby.

"We are pleased to be able to provide high quality, affordable housing for residents in Ashfield. The Council has plans to build over 100 new Council houses over the next few years and we have made excellent progress with this in the space of a year.
"We have completed 46 houses so far. This number will continue to rise as we hand over even more quality housing in the coming months." There has also been 31 council homes built in Sutton in Ashfield, including five new townhouses on Stoney Street, a mixture of 22 houses and apartments on Froghopper Lane, and four bungalows on The Poplars and The Beeches.
