Eyesore buildings being demolished to make way for new houses

The population of Banbury will be happy to hear that three major eyesores are being removed from the sky line. Cherwell District Council has greenlit the demolition of Orchard Lodge off Warwick Road, Calthorpe House in Calthorpe Street and Lincoln House in Woodgreen Avenue. The demolition has already begun.

24 contractors put in bids for the work, but AR Demolition came out on top. It is expected that the work to remove all three buildings will take 3 months, leaving the sites ready for 49 new homes to be built. And that construction will be done through the Build! programme, which sees local residents take on some of the work and help construct the new buildings.
