LOCAL MP John Healey recently paid a visit to a new housing development which will see more than £1m put back into the local community.
The visit at Brampton Vale, in Wath-upon-Dearne, included a tour of the site, which will deliver 311 new homes on a greenfield site allocated in Rotherham’s development plan.
A quarter of the homes – 78 in total – will be affordable, with the first nine already allocated to the local authority.
In addition, Persimmon is contributing over £1m in Section 106 funding to support local services, including more than £600,000 for nearby schools, as well as funding for public transport, play areas, and sports facilities.
John said: “This is a fantastic example of how new homes can bring real investment in our local communities.
“Developments like Brampton Vale help address the pressing need for more housing in Rotherham, while also providing lasting benefits for local residents, whether it’s funding for schools, enhanced public spaces, or improved local infrastructure.”
