Reading Borough Council will begin building 62 affordable homes and a new day care centre in Reading, Berkshire, this summer.
The development is being built on the former site of the Central Swimming Pool on Battle Street. It will include a 35-place centre to support adults who need extra care and a place to meet during the day.
The project features a variety of homes, such as a bungalow, houses, and sheltered housing, to help different people in the community find a suitable place to live. This effort aims to provide more affordable housing for local residents.
This work is part of a larger plan to build nearly 800 new council homes across the town by 2029. Building work is expected to get started in the summer of 2026.
