New Park Village regeneration takes shape

A housing regeneration project is underway in Wolverhampton.

The first new homes are being built on the New Park Village estate, with Keon Homes constructing seven wheelchair-accessible council bungalows on Longford Road, due for completion in spring 2026. 

This is part of a wider redevelopment replacing 205 outdated 1960s maisonettes with 188 energy-efficient homes across two phases.

Phase one demolition has been completed, with Keon Homes now carrying out surveys and coordinating utilities before construction begins. 

Bosses say the project will deliver two, three and four-bedroom council homes for rent, alongside enhanced public spaces, including a children’s play area, a green gym, seating and increased car parking.

Matt Beckley, partnerships director at Keon Homes, said: “It’s always important when people can see the first homes emerging on a scheme – it’s a sign of the vision becoming a reality.

“New Park Village Estate is a significant project in the major redevelopment of council housing in Wolverhampton.

“It’s a complex and challenging development and one where collaboration with City of Wolverhampton Council and the wider supply chain is crucial in bringing it to life.”

Funded through the City of Wolverhampton Council’s £40 million Housing Revenue Account, the phased programme aims to minimise disruption while providing modern, sustainable homes for the community.

Councillor Steve Evans, City of Wolverhampton Council deputy leader and cabinet member for city housing, added: “It is fantastic to see the construction of the first new council homes at New Park Village progressing.

“It is just the first of many new homes to come as part of our masterplan for the estate that will transform the lives of local residents.

“We are continuing to invest heavily in new and replacement council housing, which forms part of our commitment to deliver good homes in well-connected neighbourhoods across the city.

“In the long-term, the redevelopment will contribute to the improvement of tenants’ living conditions with the provision of highly energy-efficient new homes, better play areas and green space creating an environmentally friendly estate.”
