Third Time Lucky At Archers?

The pride of Priory Road…

atest press release from Cllr Stephen Stokes, issued on Bank Holiday Monday, April 10th 2023…

Cllr Stephen Stokes has welcomed an announcement that Phase 3 of the Cost Rental scheme in Archers Wood, Delgany will open from Tuesday, April 11th from midday.

Cllr Stokes stated: “For many people rent is very expensive, if they can find a property at all. This initiative will help to bridge the gap a bit. The move to bring more affordable homes to the Greystones Municipal District is welcome.”

Ninety-four cost rental properties are expected to be released in phase 3. Cllr Stephen Stokes advised that the development includes 37 one bed apartments, 53 two beds, and 4 three beds. Applications can be made here.

Additionally Cllr Stephen Stokes has recommended that people take a close look at the requirements of the scheme. For example applicants must have a net income of below €53,000, and cannot already own a property. In addition they cannot be in receipt of rent supplement or hap.

Cllr Stokes has also called for the Government to invest in facilities and infrastructure. Cllr Stephen Stokes concluded: “As more houses come on stream, we also need decisive investment to cater for the extra demand. The Government is already way behind on public transport, schools, youth facilities and more.

“I will continue to press for more resources across Charlesland, Delgany, Greystones, Kilcoole, Killadreenan and Newcastle.

“Even on Bank Holiday Mondays, people.”
