East Herts Council marks completion of 28 affordable homes at Coopers Grange development in Bishop's Stortford
East Herts Council and housing association Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing (MTVH) have completed 28 affordable homes at Coopers Grange, the 160-home estate off Hadham Road in Bishop's Stortford.
Of these properties in Patmore Close, 18 will be rented at an affordable rate to local people on the council's housing register, with the rest available for shared ownership.
The two- and four-bedroom houses and one- and three-bedroom flats each have access to an electric vehicle charging point, in line with the council's push towards achieving a net zero carbon district.
Cllr Peter Boylan, EHC's executive member for neighbourhoods, said: "We are delighted to see residents moving into these newly-built homes.
"Increasing the supply of affordable homes across East Herts is essential and a top priority in the East Herts Housing Strategy. We are committed to working in partnership with developers and housing associations to deliver on this target."
MTVH's regional director, Glyn Jones, said: "MTVH is delighted to be working alongside East Herts Council and Taylor Wimpey to increase the number of affordable homes available to the local community.
"Everyone deserves the stability and security of a comfortable and affordable place to live and so it is great to see people moving into these high-quality homes."
