Estate from the 1960s demolished for 80 new homes
A housing estate, built in the 1960s, is being demolished to make way for more than 80 new homes.
The 60-year-old estate in South Cerney, near Cirencester, is being flattened to make way for the Berkeley Close scheme, which was given the green light by Cotswold District Council (CDC) in August.
The work marks the first of two stages of demolition, with 38 properties to be knocked down in phase one.
Juliet Layton, CDC's cabinet member for housing and planning, said: "The new dwellings will be comfortable, warm, energy efficient homes."
Developers Bromford said the homes being demolished were built using non-traditional methods in the 1960s in a bid to bolster the post-war housing supply.
It said the homes had deteriorated over time.
The new homes will be a mix of bungalows, flats and houses.
More than 60 of the homes will be available for rent, while 19 will be available to part-buy, part-rent through shared ownership.
Bromford project manager Millie Nicholls said: "The former properties were no longer of the quality that either us or our customers expect us to provide.
"It's nearly four years since we started talking to our customers living in the existing properties about our plans to regenerate the street, but it's great to see work under way now."
She added that by increasing the number of rental properties available, "local people priced out of the private housing market will be able to continue living in the village".
The first new homes available as part of the project are due to be completed in September 2026, with the development finished by autumn 2027.

Ex-prisoners welcome second chance at jobs fair
A jobs fair at an East Sussex prison was described as "life-changing" by a former inmate. Frazer Trought, who is on licence after serving 10 years in prison for conspiracy to supply Class A drugs, said he was offered a job after a previous event. He said: "They empowered me to prove my worth by giving me responsibility and allowing me to work hard and prove myself as a reliable employee." BBC South East was given exclusive access to the HMP Lewes Careers Day, organised by Balfour Beatty, where businesses offer career mentoring as part of wider efforts to reduce re-offending. Mr Trought said: "When I was in prison, I had a lot of time to think about my actions and the repercussions were catastrophic for my family, friends and society." He said the support he received from a previous Balfour Beatty jobs fair helped him turn his life around and secured a job with Triplex. John Burton was previously jailed for drug importation, tax evasion and money laundering, and released in 2017. He said: "Crime doesn't pay, you will get caught. While I was in prison I said to myself I must get rehabilitated because I wanted to support myself and my family." He has a company, Inside Connections, which is now managed by his children. Mr Burton said his family had never been involved in crime and he was determined to turn his life around for them. Imogen Emmerson, who is a prison employment lead for HM Prison and Probation Service, said jobs were "key to rehabilitation". "We see most offenders who go into work within the first six months don't re-offend," she added. Ms Emmerson said while there is still stigma attached to former offenders, but some employers are prepared to take the initial risk and give them a chance. "A lot of prisoners are keen to work and they are doing it for reasons other than earning a pay cheque," she added. "They want to show they have the motivation to turn their lives around. We see stable employment as a game-changer for their confidence." Ms Emmerson said there had been more than 100 job offers via career fairs. Ceri Turner, the social impact manager for Balfour Beatty Living Places, said it was beneficial for businesses to employ former prisoners as the country has an ageing workforce. "We recognise people deserve a second chance and there is commercial value in having a diverse team in the company," she added. Follow BBC Sussex on Facebook, on X, and on Instagram.
