New affordable housing development to be built on the site of Westside School

*Over 200 flats to be built

The Government will announce today, that almost immediately, work is about to begin on another new Affordable Housing development, a development which will provide 218 flats in a mix of One-Bedroom, Three-bedroom and Four-Bedroom configurations. 

Within this total, there will also be 36 flats for the elderly.

In the next few weeks, the clearance of the sites currently occupied by Westside School, Governors Meadow First School and Bishop Fitzgerald Middle School will commence, so as to allow the construction of the new affordable homes and new schools.

As has already been announced, pupils and staff at Bishop Fitzgerald will move temporarily to St Anne’s School whilst everyone at Governors Meadow will go to the current Bayside School premises.

After just a year in their temporary homes, these two schools will move into their brand new buildings alongside the new affordable housing estate.

*More details will be given at a Press Conference today, to be attended by the Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister and the Minister for Housing. This press conference will be live-streamed on the Government’s Facebook account.
