To coincide with the recent 25th property completion at Oakwood Fields, almost 50% of the community contributions have been paid to Wigan Council.
These include more than £90,000 for secondary school places in the Lowton east ward and around £57,000 towards play space at Pennington Flash Country Park.A further £10,000 has been paid towards the play area on Pond Street.
In total, we are is building 117 new homes in Lowton, at the edge of the village between Wigan and Warrington.
Oakwood Fields offers a mix of three and four-bedroom homes from our award-winning Heritage Collection, that is praised for its complementary blend of old and new, with traditional exteriors leading into bright and contemporary open plan spaces.
Redrow Lancashire’s sales director Sian Pitt said: “While we are building homes in Lowton, we are also contributing towards local area improvements too through our S106 community contributions. We have also donated £3,000 in voluntary community contributions and helped local community groups such as a local allotments association and a charity that rescues and rehabilitates animals.
“Wherever Redrow builds, we always aim to help existing communities to thrive, as well as creating brand new communities in great locations.”
The remaining contributions will be made once the 66th completion takes place.
Within the development itself, we are providing areas of open space and new footpaths for walking and cycling to connect residents to the open land to the north and east, as well as the playing fields to the south.
An existing watercourse will be enhanced to create new wildlife habitats and provide an attractive landscaped feature running through the site, with a new footbridge being built as part of the footpath network.
