Preston City Council is expected to acquire a handful of properties Pic: Tony Worrall Preston has been handed more than three quarters of a million pounds i
has been given £756,000 under round 2 of the LAHF, after being awarded £655,000 in December last year from the first round of the programme. That initial allocation also saw the authority required to find eight dwellings, but on that occasion for both Ukrainian and Afghan refugees.
In Preston, only one operator – Community Gateway Association – expressed an interest during round 1 and a meeting of the full council heard that the organisation had also agreed to deliver the second round of the scheme in the city. As part of round one of the scheme, the size of the properties that each area was expected to acquire was stipulated – in Preston’s case, six two-bedroomed and two four-bed dwellings.
A report to councillors noted that delivery timescales for both rounds of the LAHF were “extremely tight” – with the first round homes due to be purchased by 30th November and those financed under the second round by 29th March next year.
