The East Riding Council allocates £800,000 for new homes in Skipsea. They aim to help people displaced by rapid coastal erosion on the Holderness Coastline.
The Holderness Coastline erodes very quickly. Some areas disappear at almost 15 feet each year. Homes along the coast are threatened.
The government funds the £800,000 via Defra. It is part of the Changing Coast East Riding project. The money goes to a housing site in Skipsea. Broadacres Housing Association will manage it.
The plan involves old farm buildings in Skipsea. They want to build new houses there. The houses will have two or three bedrooms. Some houses will be for rent. Some will be for shared ownership.
Councillor Jefferson spoke about coastal erosion. She stated it’s a big problem in East Riding. The council wants to support those affected. They aim to protect coastal areas for the future.
Helen Fielding also commented on the project. She expressed Broadacres’ delight at the council’s support. They are working hard on the project’s details. They plan to share more news soon. These homes are crucial for local people. She appreciates the council’s partnership.
