Havelok Homes has invested £4.8-million into new homes into the heart of East Marsh Ward.
Thirty-nine new homes have been built on land off Roberts Street which was once the site of the car park belonging to old Rialto Bingo Club that was derelict for a number of years.
There are 29 rented and 10 shared homes, with almost all already taken.
Liberal Democrat Councillor, Steve Beasant (East Marsh) is thrilled the investment has happened in his ward.He said: “It is a major investment in that piece of land as it has suffered a lot in the past.”
“There has been a lot of fires and vandalism, and potentially I would receive a report of at least one burnt out car being found on the old Rialto car park – this was taking up a lot of council time and resources.
“I have been very impressed with the innovative way this development has been built and we need to look a lot more at these types of developments for the East Marsh area. This development, nicely compliments the other Havelok Housing at Woodyard Court; which opened less than two years ago just a few hundred yards away from this sight.
“It looks the part, is fantastic and I’m over the moon that they chose the East Marsh for it – I just hope that similar houses will be built in Guildford Street in the near future”.
