  • 2 days ago
Sheffield City Council have officially opened a brand new community in Tinsley alongside Together Housing bringing 93 affordable homes to the city.

The Star's Harry Harrison accompanied council leader Tom Hunt as he was toured around the new development.

Coun Hunt told The Star the city needed more affordable homes and discussed measures the new government are taking to ensure the affordable homes are not snapped up and rented out by landlords.

Later in the video, we hear from Peter Denton, CEO of Homes England, about the importance of affordable housing.
