Success for Kingswood

This Empty Homes Grant scheme assisted in the provision of six, one bed flats providing much needed accommodation in the Kingswood area. The property is on the main retail street in Kingswood and is a mid terrace three-storey building.

The ground floor of the property is used for commercial purposes. The space above had been left underused for many years. An 'Empty Homes Grant' funded the conversion of the property into smaller units which are now used as temporary accommodation under the Council’s Private Sector Leasing Scheme.
