More affordable homes coming as Zephaniah House reaches key milestone

 Cllr Teo Benea, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Planning and Property, said: “Reaching this milestone at Zephaniah House is a real achievement and a reminder of why this work matters so much. Building new affordable homes is among the most important things we do as a council because it changes lives for years to come. A decent, genuinely affordable home gives families security, dignity and a foundation for people to put down roots in their community. At a time when too many families are being held back by the housing crisis, this is how we tackle inequality and build a fairer Brent.”

Cllr Fleur Donnelly Jackson, Cabinet Member for Housing, said: “We have always been clear that our ambition is to deliver as many affordable homes as we can. Zephaniah House will help reduce our waiting list and give families the chance to live in high quality homes within their own community. This is what it looks like when a council commits to tackling the housing crisis head on.”

Pip Prongué, Executive Managing Director, Wates Residential, said: “Delivering at this pace is a fantastic achievement in a period when housing delivery has been difficult across the sector and it reflects the commitment of everyone involved. Our partnership with Brent Council is a major part of this success. We share a clear ambition for Wembley and that shared focus is helping us create places where communities can thrive.”
