Delight at plan for 750 Sandwell homes
Hundreds of new homes will be built in one Black Country borough over the next three years as part of multi-million pound plans unveiled today.
More than 750 new homes will be built in Sandwell. Five new developments will be built in West Bromwich, Smethwick, Wednesbury and Tipton.
Sandwell Council has awarded contracts to builders Kier Partnership Homes, Barratt Homes and Compendium Living to deliver the programme which comes in part thanks to a £10 million investment contribution from the Homes and Communities Agency.
Council leader Councillor Darren Cooper said: "This is a very welcome addition to the desperate housing situation in the borough. I am hoping that building work on the first houses in the Windmill Lane area will start in March next year."
Housing boss Councillor Simon Hackett, said: "This is fantastic news for the borough."
