Poppies displayed on street signs honouring war heroes

Street signs named after World War I servicemen at a new housing development in Evesham have been decorated with poppies.

Bellway South Midlands, which is building new homes at Merry Brook Park, off Pershore Road, Hampton, has supplied decorative poppies to all of the road signs at completed streets across the development to mark Armistice Day on Wednesday 11 November.

The roads have been named in honour of the sacrifice local people made during the First World War, with many named after servicemen listed at the War Memorial in Hampton, which remembers those who lost their lives during the war.

Deb Sollis, who is a Corporate Database Officer at Wychavon District Council, is part of a team which oversees the numbering and naming of roads across the Wychavon district.
She said: “It was very nice that Bellway offered to supply these poppies as part of our annual Armistice Day project.

“Poppies are displayed around the town each year to help people remember those who fought for us, and to signify hope for a peaceful future. It is a really kind act from Bellway.”

Head of Sales for Bellway South Midlands, Elaine Brown, said: “As a housebuilder, we are committed to supporting good causes where we are building new homes.

“We hope that the poppies will help residents and visitors at Merry Brook Park to reflect, give thanks, and remember those who fought and died.”
More information about the new homes at Merry Brook Park is available by calling the sales team on 01386 306283 or visiting bellway.co.uk.

Work progressing well on new homes in Malvern

The first residents have moved into their new homes at a housing development in Malvern, where a new community is beginning to take shape.

Bellway South Midlands is building 110 homes at The Rosehips, off Lower Howsell Road, with 15 of the properties now completed and the first seven homes occupied.

The development includes two, three and four-bedroom houses and two and three-bedroom bungalows for private sale, alongside a mix of affordable houses and apartments for local people.

Bellway is also providing more than five acres of public open space, including two ponds and a children’s play area, as part of the plans.

Building work began at The Rosehips in August last year, with work expected to be completed in 2022.

Head of Sales for Bellway South Midlands, Elaine Brown, said: “Work is progressing well at The Rosehips and it is great to see the first residents moving in here.
“There has already been a real mix of buyers at the site from young first-time buyers through to those in their 80s, with some residents relocating either to be closer to family or to retire. There is a home for everyone here.

“The homes at The Rosehips are helping to meet the growing demand for new housing in Worcestershire – providing modern living within the desirable surroundings of the Malvern Hills.

“The development is also attracting visitors for its convenient transport links, as it benefits from quick access to the M5 and Malvern Link railway station, which has direct trains to Worcester, Birmingham, Oxford and London Paddington.”

There are two showhomes available to explore at The Rosehips – the three-bedroom Tailor and four-bedroom Elm designs – for visitors who book a viewing appointment in advance.
Elaine said: “Visiting the showhomes is one of the best ways for people to visualise living at The Rosehips, so I would encourage those who are looking for a new home in the area to get in touch with our sales team for more information.”

The Rosehips will be made up of homes from Bellway’s Artisan collection, which is a brand-new range of house types named after traditional craft vocations.

There’s currently a choice of three and four-bedroom houses and a three-bedroom bungalow available to reserve at The Rosehips, with prices starting from £269,500.
