The first Rother Living show homes are open on site in Maltby - part of a £29m scheme to build high quality and affordable homes in Rotherham.

Cllr. Dominic Beck, Cabinet Member for Housing at Rotherham Council, said: "It's fantastic that people will now be able to get a real feel of what these new properties will be like with the opening of the Rother Living show homes at Northgate.

"We want ensure that local people and those people from outside the borough have access to high quality affordable homes.

"Seeing the Northgate development take shape is an exciting step forward and forms part of the Council's plans to regenerate the borough making it a place where people want to live, work and spend their leisure time."

Richard Shroll, managing director of Wates Residential North, said: "The opening of the new show homes in Maltby is a fantastic milestone that demonstrates the excellent progress being made through our partnership with Rotherham Council to deliver these exceptional new homes.

"There is a growing local appetite for high quality affordable homes, and I have no doubt that Northgate will go some way to catering for this. We are very much looking forward to building on the success and continuing our role in the regeneration of Rotherham."
