First families move into new homes

The first families are moving into a new affordable housing development in Armley - breathing new life into the site of a long-abandoned factory.

The 50 homes have been built on the former Tower Works factory site off Moorfield Road, which had stood empty for years. Now, the first five properties are ready and occupied, with the rest due for completion by the end of the year.

Delivered by Yorkshire Housing and Termrim Construction, with support from Leeds City Council and Homes England, the scheme includes a mix of one to four-bedroom houses and apartments - all for affordable or social rent.
