Update on Waterbeach MOD Housing
At the end of the month 105 MOD properties will be transferred over to Annington Homes. These will then be refurbished for either rent or sale onto the open market around the Summer onwards. A second transfer of 77 properties will take place in July. After this a third transfer of the remaining empty properties on the estate will happen. A date for the third stage has yet to be confirmed.
There were serious security issues in January. Since then the MOD has put in place measures including security patrols and alarming of properties. This is in liaison with the Police who have also put in extra resource. Since then the situation has been much improved.
We are continuing to support the idea that South Cambridgeshire District Council acquires some of the MOD properties for Council housing as many local people are struggling to get onto the housing ladder.
