Partnership creates new homes at Hilltop Avenue
The first tenants have moved into new homes at Hilltop Avenue in Shirebrook. The new homes are part of Bolsover District Council’s B@Home partnership. The site had been described by previous developers
as being unbuildable due to the sloping nature of the site (11% gradient from front to back) but construction company and Chamber member Woodhead Group worked with the Council - also a Chamber member - and engineers to find a solution. The B@Home Partnership formed between the
Council and Woodhead, through procurement consortium, EEM, will see around 100 new council homes built for local families across the district of Bolsover. The development at Hilltop Avenue in Shirebrook is
on a steep hill, and in the past had stopped developers wanting to build properties for sale. However the B@Home Partnership found solutions
to the site’s gradient issues, enabling them to create 37 new homes in total, including four apartments, one bungalow and 32 two and three bedroom family homes. The first four apartments and two family homes have
been handed over to their new occupants, who are all pleased to be moving into the new development.
Craig Pygall, Construction Director for Woodhead
Group, said: “Working in partnership with Bolsover through the B@home framework we have created not just 37 homes, but a wonderful place to live. Everyone from Bolsover, Woodhead and our wider supply chain should be very proud of what we have created; and in the way we have worked this project, which truly demonstrates our purpose of ‘making building a better experience for all’. We are thrilled to be a part of the B@Home Partnership and the completion of these first homes is an exciting time for us and the other partners.” Cabinet Member for Housing, Councillor Hillary
Gilmour, said: “We are always thrilled to see new homes built for our residents and these, like the previous ones, are the latest in the set of quality new council homes which meet our high expectations. “They are having a positive impact in Shirebrook and
proving that we are investing in our district and are committed to improving life in our communities.” The Hilltop site is a flagship development for the B@Home Partnership, and has been part funded by Homes England. While on site, Woodhead has worked with a number of local suppliers and employed local labour, with 73% of materials sourced within just 20 miles of the sites across the B@Home Partnership.
