£26 million improvements are underway.  One of the major benefits of the housing transfer to our tenants was the biggest ever investment in improving their homes with a £26 million plan to install new bathrooms and kitchens in them.

We had originally planned to carry out this huge project over five years but now expect to complete it in less than four.  It means our tenants will not only get new kitchens and bathrooms much quicker but all the improvement work inside their homes will be done at the same time reducing disruption.  There will be less disruption because we will install the kitchens and bathrooms at the same time along with any other refurbishment planned for each home.

This expansion to our plans is bringing enormous benefits to people living in our homes. The improvement programme is now well underway with homes in Chorley having their new kitchens and bathrooms fitted with Coppull and Adlington next on the list.

The contractor carrying out our improvement programme is Bullock Construction. It is a national contractor based in the North West and won the Chorley contract after a competitive tendering process. It has done similar projects across the country including several in the North West. You can find out more about the contractors by clicking here.

The cost reduction had been passed onto us by accelerating the improvement programme and doing the inside of each home in its entirety.  Another benefit of the improvement programme is that our tenants can choose the colour and style of their fittings for the first time. Their kitchens are also individually planned with them by the contractors.

There are also open days being held before work starts in your area.
