The housing association is seeking feedback on its plans to replace two 1970s tower blocks in Oldham with 88 affordable homes, as it also announced the appointment of a new chief executive.
First Choice Homes Oldham’s West Vale proposals form part of a £160m plan to deliver 850 homes in the town over the next six years.
The scheme would include the construction of a seven-storey apartment block, located to the south-east of the two-acre site, as well as a range of house types.
D Hughes Demolition & Excavation will start knocking down the apartment blocks in May.
The project team includes PRP Architects, which designed the scheme, Markhams as employer’s agent and cost consultant, Whiteley Eaves as principal designer, engineering firm Alan Johnson Partnership, and NJL Consulting as the planning consultant.

Susan Howarth from Shaw, Lesley Berry from Greenfield and Frederick Shires from central Oldham, are all winners of the housing association’s 2020 festive competition which saw three beautiful hampers up for grabs, each worth over £150.
The hampers all contained an array of delicious edible treats from local companies including Saddleworth-based Albion Farm Shop and Café, a beautiful wreath from Shaw-based Moss Floral Artistry and £40 vouchers to spend at Bentley’s Master Butchers based at Tommyfield Market.
