Work on 24 new council homes almost complete
City of Wolverhampton CouncilBuilding work on 24 new council homes in Wolverhampton has almost finished, the city council said.
A mix of detached and semi-detached houses, bungalows and flats have been built in Low Hill on the disused Peach Tree adventure playground and garages by Old Fallings Crescent.
The range of different size homes has meant anyone from young to the elderly and single people to larger families can live in them," deputy council leader, Steve Evans said.
"One of our key priorities is to build new and better homes for local people in well-connected neighbourhoods across the city and I am delighted to see these fantastic new homes close to completion," he added.
The development, with 52 parking spaces, has been supported by a £1.74m grant from Homes England.
Plans were approved by the council in 2023.
The homes have electric vehicle charging points, solar panels and have been constructed with timber frames, which give a smaller carbon footprint than traditional structures and also reduce energy consumption, the council said.
