WORK has started on two affordable bungalows being built on the site of former council garages.
The land for the homes in Blue Nile Way, Colburn, was given to Tees Valley Housing Association by Richmondshire District Council.
Local ward member Councillor Peter Wood said: "There is a need for this type of accommodation here in Colburn.
"Creating affordable housing to meet the local need is a council priority, and I am very pleased to see work progressing here."
Three former garage sites are being developed in Colburn to create nine affordable bungalows.
Building work at another former council garage block in High Riding, Richmond, will be completed shortly, providing a further four affordable homes.
