A Big Welcome to our first tenants – we all wish you a Merry Christmas and a very happy time here to come!
– and we must thank our builders. EG Carter, for pulling out all the stops in these difficult times to make this possible.
Fullers Close homes are mostly all allocated now – and all have gone to people with genuine long term Eastington connections. Hopefully some will be in before Christmas. More news of that soon, meanwhile, click on the pic for a quick look around the site:
The latest Parish Housing Needs Survey showed that residents of Eastington (excluding Great Oldbury) now have local/family requirements here for another 20-odd affordable homes over and above those being built at Fullers Close.
So, project 2 begins – see details here
Despite the vagaries of the weather, and the Pandemic, building at Claypits has progressed well. See all photos here
The old name for the area of Claypits where our first project houses are being built is Puddleworth, and we originally elected to name it Puddleworth Close. Sadly we have had to change the name , as it was thought be the Post Office to be confuse-able with Puddleworth Lane. It is now called Fullers Close in recognition of the fact that the clay from ‘claypits’ was used in the fulling process in the Woollen Mills.
