New Family Council Homes Approved for Woodlands Park Road

SIX new council homes will be built in Woodland Park Road after the go-ahead was given at a meeting of the Council’s Planning Board last night.

There will be five 4-bed homes built, and one 5-bed home. The semi-detached family sized homes were given the green light along with twenty-eight other new council properties around the borough.

The homes will be paid for with £4.2million worth of funding that has been allocated by the Homes and Communities Agency.

Cllr Peter Brooks, Deputy Leader of Greenwich Council, said, “The new Government programme which allows councils to build homes themselves offers a great opportunity to use local sites in the borough for the creation of family homes, and in particular to help meet the housing needs of larger families.

“It’s also an opportunity to create job opportunities for local people and we will be ensuring that our contractors work closely with Greenwich Local Labour and Business to ensure that local residents have access to work and training on these sites.”
