Comprising of four identical new houses, the project was named “Forralea” with a design which accommodates to a variety of different abilities.

“The site and location is perfect it’s right next to the shop, close to the school, so it was really good to see it [finished].”

A total of 35 folk applied for these homes – demonstrating the demand for housing in the Westside.
