Housing Scheme Creates 100 Homes
A £11.5m housing scheme to deliver about one hundred new homes for Newtownabbey, County Antrim, is currently going ahead.
Social Development Minister Nelson McCausland visited the new family housing scheme at Mill Road this morning.
The development, on the site of the former Felden Government Training Centre, will provide 97 new homes for families on the social housing waiting list. The new homes are being built by Clanmil Housing Association, with part funding from the Northern Ireland Executive, through the Department for Social Development. Completion is planned for October 2015.
Minister McCausland said: "Clanmil Housing is to be congratulated for the excellent design and delivery of this project. The houses are being built to the most exacting standards. The development team are to be applauded for also designing in good quality recreation space. Going these extra miles to help create and sustain a community in which people will want to live is very much to be welcomed."
Steve Amos, Chair of the Clanmil Housing Group said: "Clanmil is committed to providing high quality, affordable homes for rent in areas of high housing need and we are delighted to see work underway on the construction of these much needed new homes for Newtownabbey, bringing this vacant site back into use for the community.
"We have worked closely with local community and political representatives to get the scheme to this stage and very much appreciate their help and support. We look forward to continuing work together to make this development a really good place to live and raise a family, with great homes in an excellent environment."
