Sandwell Council<\/a> has appointed Lovell and Vinci to help deliver a \u00a340m external works programme for council housing across the borough<\/h2>\n

Work is to commence this month (February) on the council\u2019s \u00a340m external upgrading scheme for its housing stock. The four-year external works programme will see roofs, windows and wooden front and rear doors replaced as well as the renewal of render and exterior paintwork and environmental improvements such as new fencing and landscaping.\u00a0 Existing insulation will also be reviewed and improved to make homes warmer and minimise fuel bills for residents.<\/p>\n

Lovell<\/a> is working on homes in the north of the borough, refurbishing properties in Tipton, Wednesbury and West Bromwich while Vinci<\/a> will work in the southern area, made up of Rowley, Oldbury and Smethwick.<\/p>\n

Councillor Kerrie Carmichael, Sandwell\u2019s cabinet member for housing, said: \u201cThis latest phase of investment in our council homes<\/a> will see thousands of tenants benefiting from these external improvements which also include replacing all wooden front and rear doors with composite doors providing better insulation and improved security.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis scheme is part of the council\u2019s \u00a3485m ten-year Housing Investment Programme which focuses on improving the council\u2019s existing housing stock as well as building new council homes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lovell regional refurbishment director Carl Yale added: \u201cHaving worked closely with the council and the local community to modernise and improve local council homes since 2005, we\u2019re delighted to be continuing that relationship through this important new contract which will focus on external envelope improvements. The programme will help tackle fuel poverty, and deliver homes which are warmer and more secure for residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a company with a strong record in delivering large-scale regeneration programmes<\/a>, we\u2019re proud to be helping the council deliver this significant investment in its housing stock and the area as a whole, bringing about major improvements in people\u2019s lives and for local businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lovell is set to take on three new apprentices over the course of the project as well as providing opportunities for existing apprentices to work on the scheme. The refurbishment programme will also create a number of new jobs with Lovell set to work closely with Sandwell Council\u2019s \u2018Think Local\u2019 employment team.<\/p>\n
