On Tuesday 12th March, Tom Copley, Deputy Mayor of London for Housing and Residential Development, visited the Manor Road Quarter development to mark the handover of the first 140 affordable homes.
These new homes were handed over to Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing (MTVH) on Monday 11 March 2024, and are expected to be fully occupied by families drawn from Newham’s housing waiting list this spring.
During his visit, Tom Copley toured one of the completed affordable homes at Manor Road Quarter. In total, this development will provide 804 new homes, 50% of which will be affordable, alongside family-friendly leisure and amenity space, as well as a 2.9-acre park. The new neighbourhood at Manor Road is being built in a sustainable, community-focused manner that supports the health and wellbeing of its current and future residents.
Tom Copley, the Deputy Mayor of London for Housing and Residential Development, said: “I’m delighted that 140 new, high-quality affordable homes have been delivered in Canning Town, including much needed homes at London Affordable Rent levels, taking many families off Newham’s housing waiting list. With over 800 homes set to be built – half of which will be affordable – this partnership between City Hall, the London borough of Newham, English Cities Fund and MTVH builds on the Mayor’s strong track record of delivering the affordable homes that Londoners need, helping to build a better, fairer city for all.”
