Local People Must Be Given Priority For Tory Top Road Housing Development

Posted by Emmet O'Halloran

Housing allocations for the new social housing development that is currently under construction on Tory Top Road must give priority to people from the Ballyphehane and Greenmount areas who have already been waiting on the housing list for far too long.
The new development which will be called Hyde Park, Tory Top Road, will consist of 70 new units next to the Aldi Supermarket and it is hoped that work will be completed later this year.
The average waiting time for somebody who wants a house in Ballyphehane is currently five years. However there are some incidents where families are waiting for up to eight years. The new housing stock on Tory Top Road will go a long way to clearing the current backlog that exists in the housing waiting list for the Ballyphehane area.
