Massive Council House Building Programme Begins In Nottingham

Work has begun on Nottingham's biggest council house building programme for a generation.  Costing £2.75 million, phase one of the programme will see 26 homes built across four Nottingham City Council-owned sites in the city. The whole project will ultimately see 350 new homes created by 2017.  NCH chief executive, Nick Murphy, said: "This is the start of a new house building programme that will be the biggest for a generation – creating much needed family homes.  "It will also create hundreds of new jobs over the next few years – and give our apprentices the opportunity to get great skills and experience so they have an even better chance of gaining a full time job once they’ve finished their training."
