Council bosses have agreed to gift a development site to
a not-for-profit company looking to provide housing for homeless people and
armed forces veterans. Building for Humanity (BFH) is looking to take on a site
in Charter Street, Accrington, with a view to building a £3m-plus scheme
including 15 one-bedroom apartments, 15 two-bedroom apartments, three
four-bedroom townhouses and 12 two and three-bed semi-detached houses. Hyndburn
Council’s cabinet recently backed the move in a report recommending the site be
given to Building for Humanity for free. Read more on 24housing.
