Norwich city council has agreed to lend its own housing

homes at Rayne Park, in Bowthorpe. And the authority loaned the business
millions of pounds to fund the project’s completion. But it was revealed the
company lost £6m after initial homes were sold for less than they cost to build
and the council was overcharged according to a leaked report. Read more on the
