Building work has started on a new £5million development in Whitley Village.



The foundation stone at Touchstone Court – a 45-home development mixing three and four bedroom houses and apartments – was laid at a ceremony earlier this month.

The scheme is being developed by housing association Midland Heart.

Midland Heart chief executive Tom Murtha said: “I am delighted to be here today, it is a significant occasion that marks another exciting step towards the completion of much needed homes for Coventry.”

Whitley Village resident and Cheylesmore councillor Hazel Noonan said: “I, like other residents, have been very keen to see this area redeveloped.

“I am pleased that Midland Heart responded to the views expressed by residents in Whitley Village and brought forward a scheme which not only provides much-needed affordable housing for our local area, but also far better reflects the housing around it than the former buildings on this site.”
