West Wickham affordable housing scheme completes with 26 new homes
26 new affordable homes have been built as part of the West Wickham project aimed at creating more affordable housing.
The scheme is included in Bromley Council's Bromley People Initiative.
Executive Councillor for Renewal, Recreation and Housing, Yvonne Bear, said: 'This is a fantastic example of what we are able to achieve by using underused land.
"We look forward to bringing forward news of more new homes in the coming months.'
The new homes located next to the newly renovated Chislehurst Library are called Richmal Court and Crompton Court.

Cllr Bear said that the project 'not only brings forward much needed homes but will also generate financial savings as it reduces the need to use temporary accommodation, which is expensive.'
Buxton Building Contractors Ltd have constructed the two blocks of accommodation which are designed to meet a range of needs for families.
Brimelow McSweeney Architects was the lead designers of the accommodation ensuring that the building met the Council's requirement to complement the architectural character of West Wickham.
The completion of the West Wickham project follows previous Bromley Homes for Bromley People Schemes in Anerly, Bromley and Chislehurst delivering 60 new homes.
Bromley Council has announced further house building initiatives in Orpington, Bromley, Beckenham and St Paul's Cray.
