Housing association Jigsaw Homes to build 50 new homes
February 18, 2019
Tameside council have received a proposal to build 50 new homes next to the listed Cavendish Mill, off Cavendish Street from Housing association Jigsaw Homes which will include an apartment block and a range of three storey houses.
The site which is just 6 miles East of Manchester was recently described a somewhere not to be walked at night so the project sounds like it will be a boost to the local area and an improvement visually:
“What we’re proposing is to add what we consider betterment to the existing area… ” said agent Jason Dugdale.
“At the moment personally I wouldn’t walk round there at night, it’s very dark, very secluded.”
Full story can be read on the Manchester Evening News website.
