Esh Border Construction has completed work on a host of 'affordable' housing schemes across Cumbra.

The seven projects total almost £20 million and were delivered in the last year to help meet housing demand in their areas.

The schemes include:

• Three developments for Two Castles Housing Association (HA) in Cumbria totalling £12.5 million; 84 new homes to Grange-over-Sands and Kendal.

• 12 two and three-bedroom homes, and a block of eight two-storey flats, for Yorkshire HA at a brownfield site in Low Demesne, Ingleton. The project is valued at £1.92m.


• The £1.7m construction of 10 efficient semi-detached houses and bungalows for South Lakes Housing in Binfold Croft, Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria.

Other projects include 18 new homes for Riverside Housing Association in Ashness Drive, Carlisle, valued at £1.88m, as well as the £1.5m construction of five blocks of two houses and one block of three houses in Ladyseat, Longtown, Cumbria.

Steve Beattie, Esh Border Construction Operations Director, said: "We are very proud of our role in delivering essential housing to the North West.

"Across each project, the team has worked very hard to deliver attractive, affordable homes without compromising on a desire to create sustainable family homes that are sympathetic to the surrounding area."
