Former Garages Reborn As New Affordable Homes

Seventeen new homes created from converted garages on an Islington council estate have been formally opened.  Fifteen one-bed properties have been created from 60 disused garages beneath homes where residents had experienced anti-social behaviour and fly-tipping. Two further homes - a four and a five-bed - have been built on a disused car parking area. The scheme is self-funding with 75% affordable housing.  The new builds have been allocated to local residents who either live in overcrowded homes, want to downsize or have mobility problems and needed homes that are easier for them to access and get around.  Read more on 24dash.
