‘Topping out’ ceremony for affordable homes in Condover
Work to construct 20 affordable new homes in Condover, South Shropshire reached an important milestone today. Dignitaries from SSHA (a part of Connexus), Shropshire Council’s Right Home Right Place team, Condover Parish Council and contractor Hawk Developments attended a ‘topping out’ ceremony to mark rapid on-site progress since construction began in March 2019.
Richard Woolley, Chief Executive of Connexus, was joined by Councillor Robert Macey – Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for housing and strategic planning - in laying a specially designed brick with a commemorative plaque to celebrate this milestone.
Right Home Right Place identified the strong need for affordable housing in Condover, working together with SSHA and the Parish Council to ensure that any new development responded to the needs of the local community. The development at Station Road comprises 2 and 3 bedroom houses, including 10 for affordable rent and 10 made available as shared ownership properties.
