Description

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames (RBK) is located in south-west London. It had an estimated population of 173,313 in 2020 but this is steadily rising and there is increasing demand for low cost affordable housing. The Mayor of London has set ambitious home building targets for all London boroughs in the new London Plan. RBK now has the opportunity to build new council homes for the first time in a decade after securing funding from the GLA.

The Council has formed a joint venture partnership with Countryside properties to regenerate the Cambridge Road Estate (CRE) with plans to provide over 2000 new homes, a safer neighbourhood, play areas and community facilities for all. Over the life of the programme all residents currently living on the estate will need to move home and we have developed a comprehensive rehousing policy to support tenants and homeowners through this process. We are now moving towards the delivery phase, and with the rehousing of some CRE residents in the first phase already underway, we are looking to secure a provider to take on a removals, storage and handyperson contract as soon as possible.
