Construction starts on first new council homes for nearly 30 years

Building work is officially underway on a programme by Sutton Council to construct the first new council houses in nearly 30 years.

The £28 million new build programme will see 93 new homes delivered across three sites – in Alcester Road, Wallington; Fellowes Road, Carshalton; and Richmond Green, Beddington.

The new build will offer a mix of one, two and three-bedroomed homes suitable for families, including ten that are wheelchair accessible. Over 90% will be affordable homes.
