Longbridge housing scheme gets the go ahead

A threatened major housing scheme to regenerate the former plant of MG Rover has been given the go ahead after £3.6 million was found by a government agency to subsidise it.

The project to build 115 new homes in Longbridge, near Lickey Road, has received a last minute grant from the Homes and Communities Agency.

It had been feared that the project would be cancelled along with a range of major building schemes in Birmingham including rennovations of some 13 schools.

Premium new homes planned for Tipton

New homes developer Redrow Homes are building traditional looking homes in Tipton just outside Birmingham, combining style and character in equal measure. The Heritage Gardens development off Upper Church Lane will consist of two, three and four-bedroom homes.

The first phase of properties will be released for sale in early September.

Pauline Turnbull, sales director for Redrow Homes (Midlands) said "Those who register their interest now will have the pick of the plots and have a greater opportunity to make the individual design choices that really make a home their own".
