More Bungalows for Hattersley

by Ethos public relations

Peak Valley Housing Association is on site at Padstow Close in Hattersley to develop eight new bungalows for the over 55s.

Previously the site was home to a number of garages which have now been demolished to make way for the new properties being built by Seddon Construction and designed by John McCall architects.

The scheme has been supported by a £255,000 investment from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and a further £200,000 from Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council.

Deborah McLaughlin, executive director North West at the HCA said: “I’m pleased that we have been able to support Peak Valley and Tameside Council to help develop the new bungalows at Padstow Close.  With such high demand for homes of this type in Hattersley it’s great to see work on this much needed development now on its way.”

Phil Corris Managing Director for Peak Valley said: “Padstow Close will bring the total number of new bungalows developed by Peak Valley to 64. Tameside’s Housing strategy recognises the shortage of suitable accommodation for older people in this area and our waiting lists demonstrate the enormous demand for this type of housing. “

Peak Valley Housing Association own and manage over 1300 homes in Hattersley and is investing millions into the refurbishment of the existing properties as well as building new ones.

Phil Corris said:  “It is common knowledge that the UK has an ageing population and the demand for housing built to meet the specific needs of this demographic is huge.  We are doing all we can to accommodate and help the over 55’s get the home they want and need.”

It is anticipated that the new bungalows will be ready for occupation in December this year.
