West of England advances local regeneration projects

Homes England and West of England Mayoral Combined Authority (MCA) have signed a new partnership to support the delivery of housing and regeneration projects.

The Strategic Place Partnership (SPP) is geared towards achieving local goals, whilst enhancing investment and growth opportunities in the West of England.

The SPP is backed by £95m of Government funding and aims to advance existing development projects, such as the regeneration of Bristol Temple Meads station which is set to provide 10,000 new homes and 22,000 new jobs.

Helen Godwin, the Mayor of the West of England, said: ‘Across the West of England, we must invest to tackle the housing crisis and regenerate brownfield land. This new Strategic Place Partnership will ultimately help us build more affordable homes for local people.’

‘Working with Homes England and local council leaders to deliver the right homes in the right places, with the services and infrastructure that people need and deserve.'
