Saxon Gardens - May 2021 Update

The main contractor procurement has now been completed and the contract awarded to Marfleet & Blythe. The contractor has experience of delivering affordable housing for Southend Borough Council on similar sites.

They will be contacting the residents (in due course) via letter to introduce themselves, and intend to keep residents apprised via newsletters.

Design works are currently underway, and they hope to achieve a start on site by the end of July 2021.

The two sites are to be delivered as follows:

Saxon (A) Garage Site (2 x 4 bed) site delivered as traditional build to zero carbon standard with Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) toilet pod.

Saxon (B) Railway Site (2 x 2 bed) site delivered as timber frame construction MMC toilet pod. Timber Frame construction facilitates a shorter building timeframe and thus minimises any potential disruption to local residents
