The Wrekin Housing Trust builds more new homes in Telford
The Wrekin Housing Trust is providing more new homes in Telford, with the completion of its Woodside Centre in sight.
The Woodside Centre, located near the Park Lane Centre and the Trust's Extra Care scheme, Parkwood, has been progressing well and will be complete this month.
Construction started in November 2011 and the development has been designed to provide eight two-bedroom houses, thirteen two-bedroom apartments and three retail units.
The shops will provide much needed amenities for the residents of Woodside including a mini supermarket with the other units available for local businesses in the area such as hairdressers and florists.
Karen Lloyd, Development Manager for the Trust, said: “We’ve worked really hard to make sure that the Woodside Centre goes towards meeting the need for affordable housing in the area, as well as providing useful retail units. We know the demand will be high for these high-quality new homes and are looking forward to seeing people moving in.”
All of the homes meet the Code for Sustainable Homes Level 3, meaning that they are environmentally sustainable and economical to run. They will also comply with Lifetime Homes standards, which allow for future adaptability.
Properties are starting to be advertised through the Trust’s Choose Your Home system, with some homes reserved for those affected by bedroom tax who need to downsize.
The retail units are also being advertised and have received lots of interest so far. Local businesses can contact Julian Spencer on 01743 272119 for more information.
