ABOUT MVMP
About MVMP
MVMP, a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee, is acquiring properties for refurbishment and demolition, selling development land for new homes, and improving public spaces, to create an attractive, safe and sustainable living environment.
We are reducing the number of unfit properties and increasing the values and rents in the area. We are also tackling private rented and owner occupied housing stock which is either statutorily unfit or suffering high levels of disrepair in defined housing ‘hot spots’. Finally we are helping to transform the wider environment.
The scheme covers eight settlements spanning the Bolsover District Council and Mansfield District Council areas.
In Bolsover:
- Whaley Thorns
- Shirebrook Model Village
- Pleasley
- New Houghton
- Creswell Model Village
In Mansfield:
- Royal Estate, Warsop
- Warsop Vale
- Mansfield Woodhouse
The stakeholders have agreed that the company will not support housing which has no viable economic future. With this in mind, the schedule of property disposals and refurbishments is based on the need for a mix of good quality housing, to attract new residents to the area and to meet the needs of local residents.
The project is therefore providing both rented and private housing to help local residents remain in their existing settlements wherever possible (albeit not necessarily in their original homes if these are of poor quality).
MVMP is a company a company limited by guarantee and has four members being:
English Partnerships
East Midlands Development Agency
Bolsover District Council
East Midlands Development Agency
Bolsover District Council
Mansfield District Council
LHA-ASRA and South Yorkshire Housing Association have been selected to take on the ownership and management role of the rented housing stock acquired by the company, as well as develop new homes for sale and shared ownership, increasing choice for local people.
Funding has been secured for the project until March 2009. A key priority is to identify funding beyond this date and to address issues relating to unfit housing in other settlements across the Meden Valley and elsewhere.
