Slough is to benefit from more new council homes, as phase two of the council’s house building project using small sites in the borough gets underway.

In 2016, the council identified 24 small development sites to be used for building new and extending existing council homes. In total, 120 new properties will be built.

In January, work started on four sites in Wexham and work is now beginning on phase two – six sites in Britwell and Northborough.

The sites in phase two include redundant garages and the site of a former public house. The development will deliver 16 new homes – a mixture of semi-detached houses and wheelchair accessible bungalows.

The new developments are being undertaken by Slough Urban Renewal (SUR) – a partnership between Slough Borough Council and Morgan Sindall Investments Ltd, which is driving regeneration across the town, including in leisure, housing, community and school buildings.

The council says that work by the SUR and Borras Construction is due to start in September and the new homes be ready for council tenants by summer 2018.

Slough Council Cabinet Member urban renewal, Councillor Zaffar Ajaib, said:

“These six small sites, in addition to the four nearly completed, are the reality of our strategy to utilise small plots of land – garages, derelict properties and infill – to provide desperately needed, quality council homes for people of our town.

“With 120 new properties being built just in these small sites – alongside ones in the SUR’s new developments – we will be offering even more people on our waiting list access to decent quality, affordable homes.”


General Manager at Slough Urban Renewal, Andy Howell, added:

“We are delighted that, by working in partnership with the council, we are able to make a real difference to the people of Slough – providing much needed new council housing for those on the current waiting list.

“By transforming various small sites, we are improving local communities and contributing to the council’s demand for housing, which will benefit all.”
