Government boost for Saxon Village in Grantham

£1.7M of Government money to help kick start the housing market has been awarded to Barratt North Midlands’ Saxon Village development in Grantham, it has been announced.

The money will help create new jobs and will mean more new homes available to buy in 2010, according to Barratt.

“This is another welcome boost for the local economy and great news for anyone hoping to buy a new home of their own in Grantham,” said Mark Cotes, Technical Director at Barratt North Midlands.

“This is a major national scheme and to qualify for the money we had to meet some extremely tight criteria. The fact that Saxon Village was chosen is a great vote of confidence in this outstanding development.”

The money is part of a £450m Government scheme called Kickstart, which has been distributed to selected developments across the country.

Housing Minister John Healey said: “This Kickstart cash is a rapid response to the recession, using the power of Government investment to support the country through the downturn. With this investment, we are creating jobs and helping build the homes people need.”

Saxon Village is situated off Dysart Road.  To find out more visit barratthomes.co.uk.
