Mill Meadows is a family-friendly development of 300 new homes, being built by Coast & Country Developments, on the edge of the coastal town of Filey with investment of £2.23m from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) to help provide 120 affordable homes.

To mark the official launch and opening of the Show Homes, Dickie Bird the legendary cricket umpire over saw a mock cricket match, watched by Naz Parkar the Head of Area at the HCA.

Dickie Bird then signed the cricket bat, which was auctioned at the event in aid of his charitable foundation that helps young people participate in sport.


Dickie Bird said: "I am bowled over by what Coast & Country is doing in Filey. As a proud Yorkshire man, it is great to see that Coast & Country is building first-class homes to meet the housing needs of local people. It is important for an individual’s sense of security, stability and wellbeing to have a high quality roof over their heads. Mill Meadows is in a lovely setting and will provide a good standard of living for people of all ages."

Naz Parkar, Head of Area at the HCA, added: "It is fantastic to see how Coast & Country are using our investment to make a difference by providing such high quality affordable family homes – the first in Filey for a long time. The investment in the local economy is not only protecting local jobs but also creating much needed employment and training opportunities."
