Ten brand new energy-efficient council bungalows built in Liversedge

The development, completed at Sixth Avenue in Hightown, has been delivered by Kirklees Council, and brings ten one and two-bedroom bungalows to a small piece of council land, helping to meet the growing demand for social housing.

Built and landscaped by the council’s appointed contractor, Ellison Construction, the homes are now fully finished to a moving-in standard, complete with driveways, gardens and greenery.

Each property features triple glazing, solar PV panels, heat-recovery systems and EV charging points.

Coun Moses Crook, Deputy Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Transport and Housing, said:

“It’s brilliant to see these new bungalows completed and ready for residents to call home. They’re modern, comfortable and energy-efficient, built to a high standard and designed with residents in mind.

“Schemes like Sixth Avenue make a real difference, giving people in Kirklees the chance to live in a home they can afford, in a place they already know.

“I’m happy to see another excellent example of how we’re investing in Kirklees and creating sustainable homes that will last for generations.”

The homes will be allocated through the council’s usual housing process, based on local need and priority.
