Plus Dane Housing

Fiona Bruce MP opens 1000th Plus Dane affordable home


Congleton MP Fiona Bruce has officially opened the one thousandth affordable home built by Dane Housing in the area of the former Congleton Borough.


Speaking at the new home of Jane Davenport - one of eight new family homes built on the site of the former Elworth Court flats in Congleton, Fiona said:



“It is excellent to hear how pleased Jane is to have such a spacious and quality built home for her family and to hear from Jane about how helpful to her all the staff at Plus Dane have been.



It is a real benefit having such a caring and responsive Housing Association playing such a major role in the provision of modern, quality homes in this area – of many different types, from the award-winning Care Home in Heath View, Congleton to much needed two and three bedroomed family homes like these.”



The site of Elworth Court on which the new homes have been developed by Plus Dane and built by Seddons previously consisted of 34 bedsits for elderly people which had become outdated.



Mike Doran, Managing Director of Plus Dane said:



“As a neighbourhood investor, Plus Dane Group has been working for many years to meet a wide range of housing needs across Cheshire.



These new homes at the former Elworth Court site are just eight of over 1000 new homes that we have developed since 1998 to provide high quality, affordable homes.



We are delighted to be able to officially launch this scheme, which supports our promise to increase the supply and choice of homes across the neighbourhoods we serve.”
