We have completed a new zero carbon housing scheme in East Greenwich, for people on the housing register. The 32-home development in Tuskar Street has eight houses with private gardens, 12 duplex apartments, and 12 apartments with a shared residents’ garden.

Three of the properties are adapted for wheelchair use, in line with the council’s commitment for 10 per cent of all its new homes to be wheelchair accessible.
Tenants in the new homes were visited by Leader of the Council Cllr Anthony Okereke.
Cllr Okereke said: “Too many people in our borough are suffering as a result of London’s housing crisis, trapped in insecure, expensive and inadequate housing, which robs them and their families of the stability everyone needs to build a happy, healthy life.
"Developments like this one at Tuskar Street show that we are doing everything we can to create the council homes that will help these people, by giving them a safe, secure and sustainable home.

Social housing is the only form of accommodation with rents that are linked to local incomes, so these beautiful council homes are the best route out of the housing misery affecting so many of our residents.”
