Tenant Matters
Building for the Future MHA’s commitment to building high-quality, affordable homes in Monmouthshire is perfectly demonstrated by its latest development, Old School Close in Caldicot. A mixture of high-spec one-bed apartments, two and three bedroom houses and a family bungalow, Old School Close is set in quiet, leafy surroundings on the site of the old West End Infants Nursery School on Masefield Road. The development showcases MHA’s vision to create environments where people can have a brilliant quality of life, in areas where they aspire to live and work. But Old School Close is just the tip of the iceberg. MHA has completed the build of 78 high-quality, affordable homes across Monmouthshire in the last 12 months alone. These include 16 apartments and houses at

Bowsher Court in Chepstow and the innovative Skenfrith Court scheme in Abergavenny – developed in partnership with the NHS and Monmouthshire County Council. Another new development in Caldicot, Sandy Lane, has transformed the life of double amputee Mr Roper. Following his operation, Mr Roper was supported by MHA to move into temporary accommodation while the new bungalow was fitted-out with specialist equipment. Mr Roper’s new home has enabled him to live independently again, in a home designed to make his life as easy as possible. With new, affordable homes opening imminently in Shirenewton and Caldicot, and with work set to begin on 35 new homes in Abergavenny, Raglan and Gwehelog in the coming months – MHA is well on course to deliver on its aim to build 540 new, affordable homes for the people of Monmouthshire by 2020.
