SCHOOLCHILDREN from Cutcombe First School will be helping to officially open a £1.2 million affordable housing scheme at Wheddon Cross, Exmoor, on Friday, September 16.
The 10 new homes are being rented to local people by Magna West Somerset Housing Association.
The properties are part of a unique rural regeneration scheme which includes a new livestock market, business units and 13 open market properties and two self-build houses.
The development is a partnership between Exmoor National Park, Exmoor Farmers Livestock Auctions, West Somerset Council, Somerset County Council, Cutcombe Parish Council, Magna and Summerfield Developments (South West) and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA).
Magna has put in £467,758 into the affordable housing scheme, which has also been supported by £750,000 investment from the HCA.
