Hackney’s Estate Regeneration programme sees more new council homes completed (23 August 2017)
Date: 23/08/2017
The Mayor of Hackney has laid the final brick in a building development that will bring transform empty land in an ambitious regeneration programme in east London by Hackney Council.
Mayor of Hackney Philip Glanville joined local residents and staff from construction firm Linden Homes at a traditional topping out ceremony.
The King Edwards Road scheme comes just a few months before 15 families move into completed council homes for social rent at the development.
The project is part of the council’s landmark 18-site Estate Regeneration Programme and will also include 17 homes for outright sale once completed, to help pay for new social housing in the absence of any government funding.
The Mayor of Hackney said:
“I’m proud that Hackney has one of the biggest social housebuilding programmes in the country, delivering new, much-needed council homes for local people.
”That’s why I was delighted to join local residents to mark this latest milestone in building the thousands of homes our borough – and our city – so badly needs.”
