Member News: 1000th New Home for Accent Nene
Submitted by emily on 28 July, 2010 - 10:52.
Peterborough-based housing association Accent Nene has been celebrating the completion of its 1000th new home since it became part of the Accent Group in January, 2005.
Of these homes, 650 have been within Peterborough and 140 within South Cambridgeshire, with the remainder divided between eight other local authority areas in East Anglia and the East Midlands.
Both Accent Nene staff and directors and senior board members of the Accent Group joined together at a special event at Hampton Vale in Peterborough to hand over their 1000th home and commemorate the occasion.
Edgar Bignall, Accent Group's Deputy Chair, said: "As one of the main social housing providers in Peterborough, we are proud to have been able to help the local community in such a positive way over the past five years. Most importantly, every house or apartment has provided a good quality home for local people."
Chloe Green and her two year old son Leo have recently moved to Accent Nene's 1000th home - a brand new two-bedroom end of terrace house in Hampton Vale, Peterborough.
Chloe is really pleased with the quality of her home, and adds: "The rooms are also a really good size - particularly the bedroom - and having a downstairs cloakroom is very useful with a young child! Accent Nene has been very helpful, and I am very happy to be living here."
Describing the types of housing that they provide, Tony Grainger, Operations Director for Accent Nene, said: "Our homes have ranged from bungalows and apartments through to four-bedroom houses. Some have been in exclusive rural villages where we have been able to help people stay within the area, whilst other have been in small market towns and many have been on the outskirts of cities. Over the years we have broadened our range of housing, becoming adept at selling and managing shared ownership and providing intermediate rent homes."
