Redwing breaks ground on New Ferry regeneration scheme

Work has officially begun on Redwing’s New Ferry regeneration project in partnership with The Regenda Group to rebuild and revitalise the area by creating more than 70 new homes.

The Liverpool-based property company marked the ‘start on site’ with colleagues from across The Regenda Group, representatives from Wirral Council and Homes England, which has provided £1.9 million funding towards the development of the affordable homes.

Children from Grove Street Primary School were also present as special guests of honour. The pupils will be following the build through Redwing’s Positive Footprints ‘Raising Aspirations Programme’.

Phase 1 of the development will bring 34 new homes to the area available for rent-to-buy with Redwing and affordable rent with Regenda Homes. The properties will be a mix of houses and apartments constructed by M&Y Maintenance and Construction on Boundary and Bebington Road.

Highstreet and highway improvements will follow the creation of the new homes, with £1.19m from the Department of Levelling Up and Communities.

Michelle Brooks, director of operations at Redwing, says: “We’re delighted to be working as one team on the New Ferry project with our partners M&Y Maintenance and Construction and Regenda Homes, as part of The Regenda Group.

“New Ferry is an exciting project that not only brings an excellent standard of affordable homes to the market but will also regenerate the area and create opportunities for local people, something the community has been patiently waiting for seven years.

“We look forward to watching this site progress and get one step closer to bringing the homes to market!”

Martin Davies, director of development at The Regenda Group, adds: “We’re pleased to see work begin on site at New Ferry.

“This is an important milestone in our project to rebuild and transform the area, bringing a range of high-quality, affordable homes that meet the needs of local people.”
