We are delighted that phase 2 of our scheme at Beechmount Village has officially been handed over to our new tenants. An additional 17 households have become the newest residents at the former Adria Factory site, joining tenants from the first phase at Woven's first integrated urban village. In anticipation of their move, our new tenants participated in a pre-tenancy workshop last week. These sessions provide an invaluable oppportunity to address any questions, learn more about the scheme and the housing association and make connections with both their new neighbours and the Woven team. Woven are proud to be building vibrant, supportive communities and look forward to seeing Beechmount Village thrive. #WeAreWoven Paula E.

We are delighted to officially handover the first phase of Beechmount Village, an integrated urban village on the former Adria factory site in Strabane. The site on Beechmount Avenue has been vacant for more than 15 years and holds a long history with the people of Strabane. We were pleased to work alongside our design team of RPP and Naylor Devlin and our main contractor Kevin Watson Group to bring it back into use by delivering new, high quality accessible homes and apartments to meet the growing social housing need in the area. The new scheme has been designed to meet the needs of our tenants. It will include high quality open space and landscaping, and, once completed, a playpark. This new development, supported by Northern Ireland Housing Executive and Department for Communities will provide an enhancement of the existing neighbourhood and aims to address the growing demand for housing in the Strabane area.

Delighted to have completed an environmental project in the Newtownstewart Centre 2000. Funded by T:BUC, with the help of the children from Care Bears Community Playgroup gave the outdoor garden area a makeover. The team helped to plant flowers, shrubs, remove weeds, prune overgrown plants, cleared out any debris and laid bark to finish. This is just one of the many environmentally focused projects we facilitate for communities under the Housing for All initiative. 

We recently supported Holywood Men’s Shed with their Health and Wellbeing Summer Fair at Redburn Country Park in Holywood. This year the main event was the Official Opening of Dunville Heritage Community Garden, officiated by Andrew Muir, MLA, Minister of Agriculture, Environment & Rural Affairs – pictured here at the event, in discussion with Woven Chair, Neil McIvor FRICS MRTPI. There were stallholders, exhibitors, demonstrations, workshops, arts and crafts, health and wellbeing. It was a free event for families which was supported by Woven and part funded through the T:BUC Housing for All initiative.
