The Wrekin Housing Trust, is behind the plan and has appointed contractor, Galliford Try Partnerships, to undertake the work at Valerian Drive. The properties being built will consist of 18 two-bed houses and six three-bedroom houses.

Stafford, like many other places, has an urgent need for quality affordable homes and the Trust is committed to investing in the town.”
