Blurton residents are moving into new homes, after the completion of a year long redevelopment project that has transformed a previously run-down area. Aspire Housing was appointed by Stoke-on-Trent City Council, as part of the RENEW North Staffordshire housing market renewal programme, to lead the development of a Masterplan for the Blurton and Newstead areas.
As part of this Plan houses and bedsits in Denham Square were demolished and replaced with 17 new bungalow homes, including two specifically designed to temporarily house individuals with spinal injuries who have left hospital and are recovering.
Aspire Housing funded £1,000,000 of the project costs, and secured a further £920,000 from The Housing Corporation.
Newly named ‘Denham Gardens’ provides its residents with new bungalows (all fitted with Aspire Housing’s Carecall facilities), landscaped frontages and car parking facilities.
Sinéad Butters, Aspire Housing’s Chief Executive, is thrilled with the outcome and said: “We are delighted with the results at Denham Gardens which have achieved our aim of bringing new, quality affordable housing to the area.
She continued: “Our work in the area will continue, with the next phase of redevelopment at Ingestre Square, where we are currently preparing a scheme of new homes, alongside new shops and community facilities”
