The project is partially funded by the Humber LEP’s local growth fund.
The new builds will replace substandard housing in neighbourhoods such as Mildane, Portobello Street and Ganstead Grove.
Most of the homes will be built on smaller sites, making them more accessible for local building trades businesses.

“All the new build bungalows meet high specification accessibility standards, which suit the needs of older tenants who may be becoming a little less mobile.”
