Cllr Trevor Bence, cabinet member for residential services said: “This is the second release of council houses being built in Arun in 28 years and continues the programme to see 33 new homes added to the council’s property portfolio over the next two years.

“I am delighted that this development is now complete and ready to provide homes for Arun residents.”

The properties will be added to the council’s housing stock to replace some of the homes sold under the Right to Buy.

They have been built by Brymour and managed by Hastoe Housing Association, whose development manager Javed Ditta, added: “Hastoe are delighted to have helped play a role in delivering these new high quality, affordable homes for the people of Arun who need them most.”
