Keys to the new homes at The Didsbury by Populo Living were handed over to two residents today.

Rokhsana Fiaz, the Mayor of Newham, was invited to the event at The Didsbury, which comprises 71 affordable homes, representing 7% of Mayor’s successful manifesto commitment to deliver 1000+ council-owned homes by March 2022.

The building also contains 77 private rent apartments.

Rokhsana Fiaz commented: “I was delighted today to welcome two new residents to their new homes at The Didsbury, whose 71 new genuinely affordable homes help meet my promise to start building 1,000 new council-owned homes by May 2022. As Mayor, it is people like these I am elected to champion and that’s why I am committed to making sure Newham Council does all that it can to provide local people with the homes they deserve and can afford.

“The Didsbury is a stunning development providing Newham families with top-quality sustainable homes and I wish all the new residents every happiness there.”

Jeremy Graham, Operations Director – Bugler Developments added: “I was delighted to attend Monday’s successful completion ceremony at The Didsbury. I was pleased to be joined by Mayor Fiaz and representatives from the London Borough of Newham and Populo Living and glad that the finished homes were well received by all. I wish every resident many happy years in their new homes and on behalf of Bugler Developments we look forward to continuing our excellent relationship with Populo Living and the local community.”
