CONSTRUCTION is set to start on a 52-home development in Parr after official launch by Mayor of St Helens Cllr Pat Ireland.

Gleeson Homes launched the development of two, three and four bedroom homes on Weymouth Avenue this week, which are now available to buy from £104,995.

Councillor Patricia Ireland and Lynn Glover joined Gleeson’s Area Manager Tony Hancock and Sales Manager Simon Dicanio at the ground breaking to mark the start of construction of the new homes.

The homes will include a driveway as well as front and rear gardens.

Mayor of St Helens Cllr Pat Ireland, said; “I am delighted to see the construction of new homes in St Helens. I know Gleeson works closely with the Local Authority to ensure homes are priced to suit local people and help those who are renting to get onto the property ladder whilst working with the local community throughout the build process."

Tony Hancock, Area Manager at Gleeson Homes explains, “In addition to promoting home ownership to local young people and helping them to get out of the rent trap and onto the property ladder Gleeson is dedicated to making a difference in the community.

"We provide job opportunities for local people and subcontractors, offer apprenticeship schemes and provide sponsorship for local junior sports teams.”
