A new developer has been appointed to complete a major Nottingham council housing project after the company previously working on it collapsed. The Eastglade Primary and Nursery School closed in 2007 and plans were first revealed in 2019 to build 106 council houses on the Top Valley site.
The principal contractor was Robert Woodhead Limited, but the company announced last September that it had entered into voluntary liquidation, triggering mass redundancies. Nottingham City Council says 53 of the houses had been completed when Robert Woodhead informed the authority of its collapse on September 14.
Work has been underway since then to find a new developer and, in a delegated decision published on February 16, Nottingham City Council says the Lovell Partnership have been appointed to complete the Eastglade project. The council says one of the reasons that Lovell has been chosen is because it is already working on another project nearby.
