THE first tenants of an award-winning housing project on Teesside have moved into their home.
Annette Stangoe and her children Christine, Shaun and twins Rachel and Michelle, are the first to move into the development at Stilton Close, Dormanstown, near Redcar. The development of one and two- bedroom flats, three and four- bedroom houses, and bungalows for the disabled, is a first for Teesside, and has come about through a partnership of North British Housing Association, Carillion Housing and Browne Baker Architects.
Builders used new methods of working to finish the contract three weeks ahead of schedule, and within their budget.
The scheme has won an award for taking into account the impact a housing estate can have on the environment.
A spokesman for Cariliion, formerly Tarmac Construction, said: "As market leaders in social housing we continue to embrace new technology, and improved methods of working, and the development at Dormanstown shows this."
