This week, we got together with residents, councillors and the developers of our new affordable homes in Essendon Hill, to celebrate the official opening with the Mayor of Welwyn Hatfield, Councillor Lynne Sparks.
We acquired the land in 2013; when the seven post-war bungalows built there were unoccupied. In their place, we have built six brand new properties – four two-bed bungalows and two three-bed houses – for affordable rent and shared ownership. They’ve been designed to fit in with their rural village location.
Taking part in the celebrations was Jon Milburn, Guinness’s Director of Development. He said: “The country is facing a severe shortage of new affordable homes so we’re pleased to invest in these six new homes in Welwyn Hatfield. I’d like to thank the Homes and Communities Agency and Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council for their support for this project.”
