Community Groups to Bring 2,000 Empty Homes Back To Life

CLG minister Mr Stunell has announced the winners of £25.1million of government funding on a visit to one of the successful projects in Newark, Nottinghamshire.  Newark and Sherwood Homes Ltd successfully applied for a £50,000 grant to purchase and bring four empty properties back into use from the Empty Homes Community Fund. These will be a mix of 2-3 bedroom houses and bungalows that will provide affordable housing for 20 people. Mr Stunell also visited Newark and Sherwood Federation of Tenants and Residents Associations to find out first hand how they have been involved in these projects.  Read more about this and other successful projects on the CLG website.
