Station Road Development – Nearing Completion

Work progressing at Station Road siteThe Parish Council wish to draw local people’s attention to the fact that work is progressing on the building of 14 dwellings on the old council yard on Station Road. According to Shropshire Housing Group’s website they will be completed in December this year.
The Parish Council would like as many local people as possible to be registered for consideration when the homes are allocated. They are therefore encouraging people to make sure that they are registered with Shropshire HomePoint who are responsible for allocating the homes when they are ready for occupancy. Registration can be done on their website www.shropshirehomepoint.co.uk or alternatively by phoning their offices on 0300-3038-595.
Derek Hodge, Chairman of the Parish Council, says:

While reviewing the Affordable Housing development at the Old Auction Yard, the Hodnet Parish Council was advised that many former applicants had not transferred across to the current register. A Local Letting Plan will be part of the allocation process and provides some preference for those with a Hodnet connection e.g. have family connections or attended local school, or employed locally. This Plan only works if those who want affordable housing are registered and known to the system.
The Shropshire Affordable Housing Scheme is managed by Shropshire HomePoint. If you know someone who has not yet registered then please urge them to apply on line or get a paper application from a Council Customer Service Point (details above). Equally, if you are already registered then it would be advisable to confirm your details.
