The homes in Hendon Close, off Showell Circus, have been constructed by Morro Partnerships on behalf of City of Wolverhampton Council, and include two 1-bedroom wheelchair bungalows and eight 2-bedroom accessible bungalows.
They have been handed over to Bushbury Hill EMB to manage with existing tenants and local residents currently on the housing list enjoying their new homes – freeing up some larger council properties for families.
The council’s housing development team led on the project and all the homes are energy ‘A’ rated, gas free and come with solar panels.
Councillor Steve Evans, City of Wolverhampton Council Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for City Housing and Assets, said: “These new bungalows will provide high quality, accessible homes for local people who need them most, helping tenants to live independently and comfortably in accommodation designed around their needs.
“As well as delivering much-needed accessible and affordable housing, the development will also help free up larger council homes for families, making the best use of our housing stock.
“These energy-efficient properties demonstrate our commitment to providing modern, sustainable council homes while supporting residents and communities across Wolverhampton.”
Gavin Ward, West Midlands Operations Director, Morro Partnerships, said: “These ten bungalows show what can be achieved when we work closely with our council partners to meet real local need.
“They give tenants with accessibility needs energy-efficient homes built around them. We’re proud to have played our part and thank the council’s housing development team for their collaboration.”
