‘‘
With housing a top priority for this council, we are delighted to see this development begin on the ground. It is clear to see that these homes will provide those in the most need with a comfortable place to live while we help them to find long-term accommodation. This is just one of many ways in which we are working to tackle the housing pressures that we are experiencing.”
