Housing development is underway

WORK to build new homes for rent in a village is underway.

Durham Villages Regeneration Company, a partnership between builders Keepmoat and Durham City Council, is building 29 homes in Ushaw Moor, near Durham City in a £2.7m development.

The properties, just off Valley Drive at the eastern end of the village near the new Hunter’s Gate development, will be managed by the Durham Aged Mineworkers’ Homes Association and Nomad E5 Housing Association.

The development, due to be completed by the end of the year, includes 18 two-bedroom bungalows, four two-bedroom houses and seven three-bedroom houses which, the company says, will be highly eco-friendly, with high levels of insulation, energy efficient heating and the use of solar panels.

Gordon Gray, chief executive with Durham Aged Mineworkers’ Homes Association, said: "Having recently completed 20 new bungalows at Hunter’s Gate, I’m delighted to be working in partnership with DVRC again to provide much needed affordable homes for the people of Ushaw Moor."

City Council leader, Cllr. Fraser Reynolds, said: "This new scheme demonstrates our commitment to regenerating the county’s former mining villages by developing affordable homes which help keep communities together.

"To date, we have delivered nearly 270 homes for rent to those on the housing waiting list and we strive to help many others to access the affordable housing they need."
