Stylish village development includes five homes set aside for local families ership starting from a 30%


Five affordable homes in the Ribble Valley village of Read have been snapped up by lo­ cal families. The shared ownership


properties at the stylish Meadow View development, off Whins Lane, have been purchased by families with a connection to Read or Si- monstone. Built by Westby Homes in


association with Ribble Val­ ley Homes, and with the sup-
