Council bungalows set to make way for £3.5m of new homes

Ten South Holland District Council-owned bungalows in Weston are due to be knocked down and replaced with up to 35 new homes in a £3.5million redevelopment scheme.
 
 
The council has set aside a total of £1,210,000 for the scheme from last year’s and this year’s budget and plans to find the rest in next year’s.
 
It is hoped building work on the scheme – opposite Weston St Mary Primary School in Small Drove – can be completed between September this year and December next.
 
A council spokesman said: “The site is occupied by existing pre-fabricated bungalows that are reaching the end of their lifespan.
 
“Existing tenants are presently being supported in finding alternative accommodation within the authority’s housing stock in order to enable the redevelopment of the site.”
 
It is understood the bungalows are currently being used for mostly short-term tenancies.
 
One resident said: “We’ve all been told we’ll have to move out. We’ve been here about two years but have a new house.”
Planning permission is yet to be sought and approved.
