50 new homes set to come on stream in Tipperary
The July meeting of the Thurles Municipal District heard that 50 homes at Glencarrick, Roscrea had recently been completed, and were due to go on the council's Choice Based Lettings (CBL) system shortly.
Choice Based Letting is a system used by Tipperary County Council so those who are on the social housing list and have been approved for homes can express their interest in houses when they become available.
Independent Roscrea councillor Shane Lee welcomed the expected delivery of the new homes, saying that it was good news for people who are approved for social housing in Roscrea.
"It's good news for Roscrea in terms of the development that's taking place with an Approved Housing Body, within the next 24 hours, we're going to see 50 new houses for young families and old families, and every type of a family that's available and qualified for housing from Tipperary County Council,' Cllr Lee said.
"It's amazing to think that, in the town of Roscrea, a disadvantaged area, we see so much good work going on in terms of housing.
Cllr Lee emphasised that the development, led by an Approved Housing Body, would provide urgently needed accommodation for a wide range of families.
"Thankfully in Roscrea, it's a good news story that we're going to have at least 50 new houses coming on stream on CBL, and that's hugely important for those people,' Cllr Lee added.
