In addition, five apprentices were trained as a result of the scheme as well as work experience and trainee placements for local people.

Joanne Jamieson, MD of Wates' Homes Division, said: "Mansfield District Council’s investment has resulted in the creation of high quality homes that offer residents security, affordability and above all, comfort. The investment has come with a valuable opportunity to benefit the local community and this project has been particularly rewarding thanks to the partnership approach our team has fostered with the council to create employment and training for local people."
