Easter is symbolic of new beginnings and for Coastline customers in Dobwalls last week, it proved to be just that.
Keys to 24 social rent homes were handed over for the development opposite the village school, following an 18-month build with EBC Partnerships Ltd.
Coastline’s newest project, for people with a local connection to the parish, comprises four one-bedroom homes, 13 two-beds, five three-beds and two four-beds.
Development officer Roshni Mitchell said: “Members of our Development and Lettings Teams last week welcomed residents into their new homes, handing over keys and explaining how the homes work, including the air source heat pumps for hot water and heating.”
She added that, unfortunately, the wet winter had delayed the completion of two homes and the public open space, but the team had worked really hard to enable the development to be completed on time.
The development has two newly confirmed street names of Gwel Deg, which is Cornish for “beautiful view”, and Primary Road, reflecting the proximity of the nearby school.
The names were chosen with input from children at nearby Dobwalls Community Primary School and confirmed by Cornwall Council’s street-naming team.
Schoolchildren have closely followed the build progress from its inception, with presentations by Coastline and EBC Partnerships, followed by a guided tour of the properties, and tree-planting in public spaces last week.
