A new £2.9 million development in Knowsley has officially opened.

The 26 rental properties at Kipling Avenue in Huyton were built by housing developer Lovell, and are owned by Knowsley Housing Trust (KHT).

Following 14 months of work, the finished site comprises 10 two-bed and 12 three-bed houses, along with four two-bed bungalows. Each property has been built to incorporate energy efficient measures, such as solar panels and high levels of insulation to reduce residents' utility bills.


KHT's executive director, Ian Thomson, said: "Through a combination of stylish, high-quality properties and attractive landscaping, our development at Kipling Avenue will provide its residents with a real sense of community, as well as an affordable, comfortable place to call home. We have worked hard to build homes that are practical for our residents, with green space that families can enjoy.

"The site's residents will also benefit from the support of a team of experienced, approachable housing professionals who will always be on hand to help and advise, providing a truly world-class service to those who live there."
