Have your say on new homes plan for former care home site

WEST HULL: Residents are being the given the chance to air their views on plans to build new homes on the site of a former care home.

As the Mail has previously reported, ten bungalows have been earmarked to be built on the cleared site of the flood-hit Rokeby House in Rokeby Avenue.

The home was demolished last year after a two-year wrangle over its future.

The proposed new �1.5 million development is being backed by a �539,000 grant from the Government's Homes And Communities Agency.

It is being led by Hull-based housing association Pickering And Ferens Homes.

Details of the planning application for the new two-bedroom bungalows will be displayed next Tuesday from 2.45pm to 5pm at Rokeby Park Primary School, Gershwin Avenue, and again on Thursday from 4pm to 7pm at the school.

Roger Elliot, director of Pickering And Ferens Homes, said: "We are delighted the grant from the Homes And Communities Agency has been approved and that the scheme is on schedule to be progressed.

"We anticipate the work will be undertaken by a local contractor which will provide work in the area."

Work will start on the site at the end of March.
