THE redevelopment of a former garage site in Kendal into affordable homes has been completed by South Lakes Housing. The transformation of Parkside Road has created five much needed new homes for affordable rent and for shared ownership, for the benefit of local people. This innovative project breathes new life into a central piece of land in Kendal that now showcases five homes. The outcome demonstrates SLH’s commitment to investing in communities across South Lakeland and beyond. The houses have been constructed using improved fabric insulation and low carbon technology (PV Panels and Battery Storage). They will all perform to high environmental standards having achieved an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating A, according to South Lakes Housing.
A HUNDRED trees have been planted in Dovercourt to mark this year s Earth Day. Essex-based housing association CHP has planted the saplings to mark the international event, which takes place every April 22. The theme for 2021 is ‘restore our earth’ and focuses on the steps everyone can take to protect the planet for future generations. As part of its commitment to conserving the environment, CHP planted the trees on land next to its completed housing development at the former Delfords factory site, off Main Road. The housing association has pledged to plant five trees for every new home it develops to help create more green spaces and areas of native woodland.
