Keys handed to tenant for 200th council home in Bradford

    The keys have been handed over to the tenant of Bradford Council's 200th new home in the Bradford district.

    Bradford Council has been developing new homes for the residents of the district since 2010 using its own funding and a grant from the Homes and Communities Agency.

    The new homes, built by Keepmoat, are owned by the Council but managed by the social landlord Incommunities under a five-year contract that started in 2016. The rental income from the new homes pays the borrowing costs of the funding used to build them.

    The 200th new home is one of 20 new homes for rent located at Cliffe Lane West in Baildon. Nine of the homes have been handed over this week and the remaining 11 are due to be handed over next week.
