Housing association and housebuilder Curo, jointly with the Local Authority Building Control Team at Bath & North East Somerset Council (B&NES), have been awarded a high commendation in the West of England regional division of the Local Authority Building Control (LABC) Building Excellence Awards.
Housing association Curo has announced its intention to demolish and redevelop a block of 44 maisonettes at Tintagel Close in Keynsham, following a prolonged period of consultation with residents of the estate.
Clutton’s youth football teams are sporting brand new kits after receiving a £3,000 sponsorship donation from housing association and housebuilder Curo. Curo last year completed the Highbury Fields development of 36 new homes in the village, which included 21 affordable homes for social rent and shared ownership.
Around 70 people attended Curo’s public exhibition last week to see the proposals for the redevelopment of the land formerly occupied by Walnut Buildings. Curo says feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with 93% of survey respondents stating they support the redevelopment proposals as showcased.
Housing association and housebuilder Curo hope to build new, high-quality housing on the Walnut Buildings site in Radstock and are asking the local community to help shape plans for a future development. To take part, local residents are invited to fill in this short survey: www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/walnut-buildings.
