Work under way for 'much-needed' council homes

Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council says 23 new homes are being built in Bedworth

Construction work is under way for "much-needed" council homes, a local authority has said.

The development will see 23 new properties built in Bedworth as part of Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council's "ongoing commitment" to provide more council homes for residents.

The plans include one, two, three and four-bedroom homes, which are being built across two sites at Armson Road and Cheveral Road.

Councillor Chris Watkins said the authority was confident the development would "make a real difference to those in need".

The work, which is being carried out by Harper Group, started at the end of April.

Plans for Cheveral Road include eight properties, four one-bed flats and four two-bedroom houses, with the other 15 homes being built in Armson Road.

Watkins added that the development would also contribute to the growth of the town's communities.

The council hopes to complete the work in Cheveral Road by February, and in Armson Road by April.
