THE completion of 22 new homes at Kilkhampton means "more local people can stay local".

The site off Jubilee Close, now known as Atlantic View Road and Sea View Close, has been developed by Sanctuary Group. It includes a mix of family accommodation, from two bedroom bungalows to four bedroom houses, all available on an affordable rental basis.

The £2.4 million scheme has attracted part-funding from the government's Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and has been built by contractors Markey Construction.

Approval for the scheme was granted by Cornwall Council to help provide affordable homes in Kilkhampton, allowing people to remain or return to the village in which they grew up, and providing comfortable bungalow accommodation for older or disabled residents from the local area.
