Work has begun on a new Ealing Council housing development in Northolt that will see 84 homes being let at London affordable rent which the council says “is priced to suit the budgets of local people on low incomes”.
The development, built on the former Northolt Grange community centre, also includes eight shared ownership properties and will have a variety of property sizes from 1-bedroom to 3-bedroom apartments and a 4-bedroom house.
Councillor Shital Manro, Ealing Council cabinet member for good growth and new housing said: “It’s great to see work starting on more urgently needed new affordable homes for Northolt.”
Councillor Manro added: “The affordable housing crisis has led to the highest ever number of applications for emergency housing to the council because people are at immediate risk of becoming homeless. Every resident deserves a safe, secure, affordable place to call home. These new homes will enable local people to continue living in their communities, in thriving new neighbourhoods.”
