New housing development in Leigh Sinton taking shape
The 52-home project is being built in Leigh Sinton, and was visited recently by Councillor John Gallagher, leader of Malvern Hills District Council.
Named The Hamlet, the development is located off the A4103 and will offer a mix of two, three, four, and five-bedroom homes in detached, semi-detached, and terraced designs.
Cllr Gallagher said: "It was a pleasure to visit this important development and see first-hand the work that is going into delivering these much-needed homes.
"It's always great to see developments that are meeting the housing needs across the Malvern Hills district and are being delivered by a local homebuilder.
"I look forward to seeing the development blossom into a great place to live and somewhere the Malvern Hills residents can thrive."
He was welcomed to the site by Colin Cole, CEO of Lioncourt Homes, along with site manager Ben Hingley and health, safety, and environment manager Rob Brown.
The development includes 15 affordable homes, available through social rent and shared ownership schemes, with the remaining properties for sale on the open market.
More than £350,000 in Section 106 contributions will be invested in the community, supporting education, transport, public spaces, children's play areas, healthcare, and green infrastructure such as parks and allotments.
Mr Cole said: "We were delighted to welcome Cllr Gallagher to The Hamlet to showcase the progress being made in delivering these significant homes for Leigh Sinton.
"As a five-star homebuilder and a Worcester-based company, we are proud to be meeting the growing demand for homes of all tenures while supporting the economy through investment and employment.
"We are committed to delivering developments that provide much-needed housing but also blend seamlessly into their charming locations."
Lioncourt Homes recently received a five-star customer satisfaction rating from the Home Builders' Federation (HBF) for the 11th consecutive year.
The company currently has homes available at The Green in Rushwick and Martley Fields in Martley, with The Hamlet expected to be completed in 2027.

Grealish looks to reignite his career after joining Everton on a season-long loan deal from Man City
LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — England midfielder Jack Grealish will look to reignite his career after joining Everton on a season-long loan deal from Manchester City on Tuesday. The 29-year-old Grealish, one of the poster boys of English soccer, became the country's most expensive player after a 2021 move from Aston Villa to City for 100 million pounds (then $139 million). He was a regular pick in City's historic 2022-23 season when the team won the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup. However, Grealish has fallen out of favor over the last two seasons, not even making City's squad for the recent Club World Cup, and has chosen to move to Everton for a season ahead of the 2026 World Cup in North America. 'I'm over the moon to have signed for Everton - it's massive for me, honestly,' Grealish said. 'This is a great club, with great fans." The loan switch removes not only a high-earner from City's wage bill but also one of the many attacking midfielders built up in City's stacked squad. Grealish often had a free, roaming role when making his name at Villa, but had to be more disciplined and restricted as a left-sided forward in City manager Pep Guardiola's system of play. Everton manager David Moyes will try to get the best out of Grealish again, with the team's first match of the Premier League season at Leeds on Monday. 'As soon as I spoke to the manager, I knew there was only one place that I wanted to go,' Grealish said. ___ AP soccer:

Disruption warning as Gatwick baggage screeners announce August strikes
Holidaymakers travelling through Gatwick airport may face severe delays later this month as baggage screeners strike over pay. Starting next weekend, airport staff employed by ICTS will strike, according to an announcement by Unite, one of the UK's largest trade unions. Walk-outs will take place on all dates between 22 and 26 August and from 29 August to 2 September. According to Unite, workers employed by ICTS earn just above the minimum wage – among the lowest paid staff members at Gatwick. All flight services departing Gatwick are expected to experience disruption during the 10 days of industrial action, according to the union. The union said in a statement that the strikes will 'intensify' if the dispute is not resolved. Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: 'ICTS has more than enough money to offer these workers a fair pay rise. Not doing so is just corporate greed. ICTS's Gatwick workers will receive Unite's complete backing for as long as it takes during their strikes for fair pay.' Regional officer for Unite, Ben Davis, added: 'Despite performing a critical role, these workers are amongst the lowest paid at the airport. Gatwick should be stepping in and pressuring ICTS to put an improved offer forward.' London Gatwick told The Independent that this 'is an industrial matter with third-party suppliers'. An airport spokesperson said: 'We are working with our suppliers to avoid any impacts, and we expect to operate a normal summer holiday flight schedule for our airlines and passengers on these dates. Of course, we hope ICTS and their union can reach a resolution before then.'
