work<\/a> will start later this year on twenty-four one-bedroom homes.\n<\/p>\n\n All of these sites are bringing brownfield, previously developed land, back into use and will be delivering much-needed affordable homes in the borough.\n<\/p>\n
\n Councillor Susan Gambles, portfolio holder for housing and welfare, said: \u201cSince 2019, more than 2,100 affordable homes have been built in our borough.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Around 680 of these are council homes.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI am extremely proud that we are investing in building new council homes and we work proactively to build the right homes, in the right places for our residents. These three sites represent a good mix, with different home types and different sizes, delivering homes that we know local people want.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThese homes, all built as council homes at affordable rent, will also be built to a high quality, helping to keep energy bills down for tenants.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Work on nine new-build two to four bedroom homes is already underway at Briar Grove, with eight bungalows…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":497118,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1397,90,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-497117","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-environment","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=497117"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497117\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/497118"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=497117"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=497117"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=497117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
