Work has started on the site of the first new council homes in
the borough for over 20 years.
The new homes on Croft Street, Smallbridge will provide 18
bungalows and four family houses. The 22 new properties will
provide homes for some of the former tenants as well as tenants
from a nearby regeneration area and others in housing need.
Previous residents returning to the new development have been
involved in helping to design and shape the scheme and attended the
official groundbreaking.
The homes will be developed and owned by Brighter Horizons, a
charitable subsidiary of Rochdale Boroughwide Housing
(RBH).
It is anticipated that the new properties will be ready for
occupation in August.
