Corporation Street affodable homes - apprentices wanted

Some of the initial work on the Corporation Site homes has commenced with clearing up and site preparation.

This is a site for 2 bedroomed properties to rent for the over 55s and I am particularly proud of the fact the MBIs have brought the over £4 million finance for this project to Morley.

Part of the deal of regenerating this old Council site is to offer employment and apprenticeship opportunities to local people and we have just been given confirmation of a recruitment process by the Housing Association. People who are interested can ring the Housing Association directly on 07747 787904.

The MBIs do believe that regeneration schemes should involve local people - not only as the final users of these properties but also in the physical regeneration of this site.

The allocation policy on this site will focus on local people and again offering those in large Council homes who are over accommodated newer accommodation more suitable for their needs. This will hopefully lead to more larger council family homes coming back to be allocated to those Morley families on the housing waiting list.
