£11.3m upgrade for Knowsley landlord

KNOWSLEY Housing Trust, part of the First Ark Group, is investing £11.3m on upgrading its estate.

Work will include refurbished kitchens and bathrooms, improved insulation and disabled access, and new central heating systems.

Executive director Ian Thomson said: “This schedule of investment and improvement activity demonstrates our commitment to investing in the local community and the homes of KHT tenants in Merseyside, enabling us to make Knowsley a truly great place to live.

“We care about our tenants and want to use this money to make a real difference to their quality of living, which is why funds will be used to upgrade the facilities available to the entire neighbourhood, particularly in the transformation of community centre fixtures and fittings. As part of its commitment to the local economy, KHT will work with local partners to complete the work, providing employment opportunities and building great links with businesses in the area.”

The improvements will be carried out over the next 12 months.
