Durham Aged Mineworkers’ Homes Association (DAMHA) is investing £3.36 million in the two-bedroom bungalows in the centre of Wheatley Hill, near Peterlee. The homes are being built on grassed land at Meadow View which used to have rows of terraced housing that were demolished in the 1980s. Housebuilder Dere Street Homes is building the homes on behalf of DAMHA and completion is expected by October 2021. The scheme forms part of DAMHA’s ongoing strategy to address the shortage of new, two-bedroom bungalows in the region.
