At last the builders are on site at Sunhill developing 8 homes for people with a local connection to Woolhampton. The development is nearing completion with an anticipated handover date sometime in February 2015.
On the 30th of October Arlene Kersley from CCB, and Tony Renouf the Chairman of Woolhampton Parish Council were invited to have a tour of the site along with Maureen Sheridan and Jenny Broad from West Berkshire Council. The 8 houses are progressing well. They will each have ground source heat pumps and are very spacious homes with lovely views across the Kennet Valley.
Anyone that has a need for an affordable rented home and that has a local connection to Woolhampton. (i.e. they currently live in unsuitable circumstances in Woolhampton, they have parents or children in Woolhampton, or they work in Woolhampton) should ensure that you are registered on the West Berkshire HomeChoice system to ensure that you can apply for one of these homes. You can register online at: www.homechoicewb.org.uk/
If you do not have a computer you can do this at any local library or register directly at the West Berkshire District Council Market Street Office in Newbury. Alternatively you can ring the Housing Register Team on: 01635 519530. Aster Homes is responsible for the development. They have worked closely with West Berkshire District Council, Woolhampton Parish Council and the CCB Rural Housing Enabler to make this scheme possible.
