Merlin recently held drop-in events in Coalpit Heath and Iron Acton to update residents on their redevelopment plans.
The housing society has nearly finished building the first 39 new homes in Coalpit Heath, replacing "non-traditional homes" that were in a poor state of repair and expensive to heat. In the next couple of months they're going to be starting work to build another 72 new homes in Coalpit Heath and Iron Acton to replace 44 existing properties.
They will also
be redeveloping the garages in Coalville Road to provide 2 new bungalows and 2 flats. They told local councillor Claire Young they are looking to carry out the demolition in winter 2016/17, then start work in early summer 2017 with the aim to be complete before the following winter.
Throughout the Coalpit Heath developments, residents will be able to drop in to the site welfare facility on Oldlands Avenue between 10.30 and 12 on Thursdays to raise any queries or issues they have.
You can read more on their website.

Merlin hold summer celebration
Until 14th July, this house is open on weekdays from 10am to 6pm as the Coalpit Heath Memory House. You can see what a typical front room would have looked like in the 1950s when the houses were new and hear stories of what life was like in the village back then.
On Saturday it's open 11am to 2pm for the summer celebration. You can enjoy children’s activities, hedgehogs and slow worms, a splat the rat game and a house painting competition.
You can also get a glimpse of what the future holds with a 3D printed model of the new homes Merlin is building.

Coalville Road garage site redevelopment
On Thursday Dave Hockey and Claire Young attended the drop-in to look at Merlin's plans for the Newlands Avenue and Coalville Road garage site redevelopments.
Dave Hockey said, "I was very impressed with the plans for the replacement properties, especially the fact they met the lifetime homes standard, enabling people who develop disabilities to stay in their homes. They all have flat access from the street, provision for lifts to be fitted if and when they're needed and several of them have wetrooms."
Claire Young said, "The Coalville Road garage redevelopment is at a much earlier stage. The proposals showed two two-bedroom bungalows and a two storey building containing two one-bedroom flats. It was useful to talk with residents about their views and I await further information on the plans with interest."
