houses built in Birkin Walk and Broad Lane, Kirkby after Knowsley
Housing Trust (KHT) joined up with KMBC and the Homes and
Communities Agency. These houses will provide some much needed
affordable homes for the community.
All the new homes are built to extremely high standards, with
modern facilities that include; gas central heating, a shed,
electric shower and smoke alarms. They include a number of
eco-friendly features such as solar water heating panels to the
roof, rainwater butts and heat detectors.
