WORK can finally get under way on the redevelopment of Longue Rue House and Maison Maritaine residential homes, after Housing and Health and Social Services gave final approval to the Guernsey Housing Association for the project.

BUILDING 24 new social housing apartments in St Martin’s will allow older people who are currently taking up family-sized States houses to move to more suitable accommodation, the Guernsey Housing Association chief executive has said.

APARTMENTS to complete the social housing development at Rue Jehannet should be built by January 2013, the chief executive of the Guernsey Housing Association has said.

PEOPLE have moved into some of the new homes at the Grand Bouet.

MORE than 300 families are waiting for the States to house them, according to official figures.

FORTY new houses and flats will be built at the former Boys’ Grammar School if Environment agrees to plans submitted by the Guernsey Housing Association.

THE last house remaining at the Bouet building site will be demolished at the beginning of next month – and work to start rebuilding could start as soon as March.

FOR the first time the Guernsey Housing Association is looking to build new homes in the rural area.

TWO-THIRDS of the desperate people who seek help from the Sarnia Housing Association have to be turned away, according to the charity’s chairman.

TAXPAYERS will contribute between £20m. and £25m. towards the redevelopment of two States-run residential homes, Housing has confirmed.
