New development means family stays in the area

Proud new homeowner Andrew Partridge
A new affordable housing development is taking place in Woodstock - known the world over as the location of Blenheim Palace.
Due for completion in January 2012, the 20 homes at Marlborough Place are a mix of rental and shared ownership.
One of the first residents is Andrew Partridge (pictured). He says, "West Oxfordshire is a fabulous part of the world to live in but also one of the most expensive! After a marriage split, finding a house in the area large enough to allow my four children to stay close to family and friends was out of the reach of a single income. Shared ownership has made it possible for us all to have somewhere to call 'home'."
