Social housing and construction company, Unity Homes and Keepmoat, have been building the new houses on Brown Lane East site. The space used to have back to back houses but were knocked down around four years ago. Since December 2013 work started on the ground to build 42 brand new properties to overlook Holbeck Moor.
Both Unity and Keepmoat have
both been actively involved with the Holbeck Neighbourhood forum and with the local school. Back in June 2014 the children from Ingram Road Primary school were approached by Unity to come with a name for the new houses. Wayne Noteman Regeneration director from Unity said
'I thought it would be a fun task for the pupils to work on. Something that would involve them as part of the development and give them ownership within their community'.
The children researched their area and selected a number of different names. The names were then sent to Unity offices and the names were voted on. The winning name came from Oak Class (yr4/5) this was 'Harding Villas'.
At that point the foundations had only been laid but then in December 2014 the first show home was prepared and the school children were invited to see, along with other members of the community.
