A NEW housing scheme has been launched in Hemyock, with the completion of five new homes.

The houses are part of a larger scheme of 35 new houses and flats currently being built by Bloor Homes on a site that was formerly the St Ivel factory.

It is felt that Hastoe Housing Association has made the best use of a redundant, brown field site close to the centre of the village.
