Lincolnshire County Council to set up company in aid to build more homes
January 25, 2019
More homes needed across the country so once again some positive news coming from Lincolnshire County Council as they set up ‘PropCo’ (a subsidiary of the authority’s holding company Lincolnshire Future Ltd) in order to build more homes and to reach housing targets set.
Councillor Patricia Bradwell, executive member for adult care, said, “One of the projects the council’s new property company will oversee is extra care housing… We are working with our district council partners on this to improve the options to support people to live independently. Having their own front door gives them a home environment, but with support on hand from caring professionals.”
