The master plan calls for the construction of 98 new residences in the first phase and 83 in the second.
As demolition gets underway to create room for new, energy-efficient homes, the New Park Village estate in Wolverhampton, UK, has reached a critical turning point.
This is the first step in a renovation project that will revitalize the area’s council housing.
“Poor-quality” bungalows on Valley Road have already been demolished by contractor DSM Demolition.
The 1960s maisonettes at Ellerton Walk, which are a part of eight connected deck access blocks with ground floor garages, are currently the main emphasis. Modern two-, three-, and four-bedroom rental homes are the goal of this demolition, which is a component of the regeneration process.
With more parking spots, better public open spaces, a children’s play area, a green gym, and seating all proposed as part of the project, the renovation will also boost community amenities.
The master plan calls for the construction of 98 new residences in the first phase and 83 in the second. In addition, Longford Road will see the construction of seven new bungalows.
The additional homes will be built by Keon Homes, the construction partner chosen under the City of Wolverhampton Council’s new development framework, beginning in the middle of 2025.
A £40 million ($49.7 million) investment from the council’s Housing Revenue Account capital budget supports the entire refurbishment.
“We are continuing to invest heavily in new and replacement council housing, and these demolition works will pave the way for a very different looking New Park Village that will make a major difference to its residents,” stated Steve Evans, deputy leader of the City of Wolverhampton Council, councillor, and cabinet member for City Housing.
“With the addition of new, highly energy-efficient homes, improved play areas, and green space, the redevelopment will eventually help to improve the living conditions of tenants and create an environmentally friendly estate.”
About 500 houses are to be built over the next five years, according to a £98 million investment plan that the City of Wolverhampton Council revealed last month.
The Capital Programme for 2025–2030 includes £67 million for the renovation of nearby estates, including New Park Village.
To lessen the impact on the neighborhood, the reconstruction plan will be implemented in stages.
