The Wath Brow and Priory Drive areas in Cleator Moor are housing estates made up of 362 homes: 244 affordable rented homes owned by Home Group and 118 privately owned.
The estate faces a number of challenges:
- Some properties are in a state of decline as a result of dated construction methods
- Some homes are poorly insulated and ventilated resulting in higher bills, condensation and damp problems for customers
- The mix of properties doesn’t meet the needs of the community
- There are poorly designed public spaces and links through to the wider area are inadequate
We’ve been exploring the potential for providing housing that better suits the needs of our customers and the wider community and we’re keen for all residents to have a say in this. We’ll be working closely with our customers, home owners, the local community and the council in order to ensure any proposals that come forward are best aligned with everyone’s involvement.
