Merseyside regeneration project will provide 70 jobs
By Susie Cho
Builders and tradesmen in Merseyside are set to benefit from a major regeneration project which was granted planning approval this week.
The Greenfields Place development from One Vision Housing will see the housing association invest over £35 million in transforming the area around St James' Place in Bootle.
Some 32 new homes will be created from the complete refurbishment and extension of four tower blocks, while extensive landscaping and boundary treatments will also be implemented to tackle crime and antisocial behaviour in the area.
It is expected that the project will create up to 70 jobs for builders and tradesmen in the area over the next five years.
"These measures will provide renewed support for the local community, whilst at the same time providing our customers with premier-class homes that they can enjoy in safety," commented Roy Williams, chief executive of One Vision Housing.
One Vision Housing recently joined 14 of the region's landlords in the House of Commons to highlight the job opportunities for 400,000 people in the north of England.
