New Residents in Collier Row


I had the pleasure of attending the official opening of 24 new homes in Bushey Close on the old Gobions School Site in Havering Road this week.

The houses were built by Family Mosaic, a Registered Social Landlord and total 14 x 3 bed houses and 10 x 4 bed houses. They form part of the 6 acre former school, the rest of the site has houses and flats for sale on the open market and total over 160 new properties in total

Cllr Mann said “I have been involved with the development on the Gobions site from the very beginning, meeting with residents, planning officers and the developers, Taylor Woodrow, it is nice as a Councillor to see something that is completed, from drawings on a piece of paper, to houses in the ground and people living in them”

Although over 40 houses now have people living in them, the rest of the area is still a building site and will not be completed in full until March next year, 2008, adding almost 300 new residents to Collier Row.

Cllr Mann went on, “I would like to welcome everyone living in Bushey Close to Collier Row, it’s a great area of the Borough and im sure they will all fit in with the surroundings just fine”
