FCHO shortlisted for three national housing awards

We are delighted to have been shortlisted for three national housing awards for our outstanding development and energy efficiency work.

Our flagship £20 million West Vale development at Coldhurst is shortlisted for two awards categories: Inside Housing Development Awards Best Regeneration Project – up to 100 homes, and the Housing Executive Awards Best Affordable Housing Development.

We are also nominated in the Housing Executive Awards Best Retrofit Initiative category for investing £5.4 million in delivering one of the region’s most ambitious retrofit energy efficiency programmes for 350 homes across Oldham.

Commenting on the good news, our Chief Executive, Mark Gifford said:

“We are very proud to have been shortlisted for these awards, which are a vote of confidence in our excellence and our commitment to our customers and Oldham.”

“With a variety of tenures to meet local housing need, energy-efficient design and collaboration with local partners, our West Vale development is a true showcase of community spirit and a sustainable future for Oldham.

“Investing in customer's homes to ensure they are high-quality, safe and sustainable is also a priority for FCHO. Our programme of tailored, green upgrades is about much more than bricks and mortar – it’s about improving comfort, reducing bills, and making sure our homes are healthy and fit for the future.”
