First scheme of its kind in Cornwall

A new development of affordable homes off Bickland Water Road in Falmouth has received its official opening.

It is the first scheme in Cornwall to be built under a new joint venture agreement between Legal & General Affordable Homes, who own the properties, and Cornish housing charity Coastline Housing which will manage them.

The 44 properties are a mix of rental and shared ownership, all for local people.

Invited to cut the ribbon was Town Mayor Cllr Steve Eva, alongside Ben Denton, Managing Director, Legal & General Affordable Homes, and Nathan Mallows, Director of Finance at Coastline Housing.

Anyone interested in applying for a rental home should join Cornwall HomeChoice where adverts will be placed in coming months as more homes become available.
