Construction is now well underway to build a brand new housing
development on the former site of Tresham College on St Mary's
Road, Kettering.
The £4.8m partnership project, being built by
Loughborough-based contractor and developer, William Davis Ltd on
behalf of Waterloo Housing Group, will provide 40 affordable homes
for rent and shared ownership.
With part funding from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA),
the Government's national housing and regeneration body, and key
support from Kettering Borough Council and North Northants
Development Company, the new scheme will provide much needed
housing for the area.
Richard Cornes, partnerships director, William Davis said: "The
former Tresham College campus had become run down and unfit for
purpose. Together with our partners, we are looking forward to
witnessing the transformation of this site and the creation of a
thriving, sustainable community for local residents."
Anthony Riley, group director of development and operations at
Waterloo added: "It is very rewarding to be working with William
Davis and other partners to build new affordable homes in
Kettering. The benefit is not only in the provision of much-needed
homes, but in stimulating the local economy with construction
employment and related spending."
The new development, which will also include eight family homes
for private sale, is set to regenerate a key gateway to Kettering
town centre and rejuvenate the St Mary's Road surroundings.
