Warsop Vale
Warsop Vale is situated in the District of Mansfield between Church Warsop and Shirebrook. Located immediately alongside the former Warsop colliery, the village consisted of 212 owner occupied and private sector rented properties. The majority of the tenanted properties were owned by a single landlord, many in a very poor state of repair.
Many of the residents have lived in or had connections with the village for many years and there is a good community spirit.
Warsop Vale is in a rural location, surrounded by open countryside. The houses formed a 'horseshoe' in front of the former colliery, with a large area of open grassland in between which was largely overgrown.
The worst of the existing properties have been demolished with the remainder now refurbished to a high standard and the open part of the 'horseshoe' closed in to provide a more useable open space for residents. A mix of housing and tenures is also being provided to help ensure the village is sustainable and environmental improvements are being made to complement the improvements to the housing.
The poor condition of many properties has led to a population reduction in recent years. Improvements are reversing this trend and the future of the village is secured.
Progress
A masterplan agreed between Meden Valley Making Places and local residents involved the demolition of the terraced homes on part of
The development is scheduled for completion in 2011, following the transfer of land from MVMP to Bellway last year and the demolition of 89 properties which had fallen into dereliction.
A further 120 properties have undergone refurbishment or group repair by Mansfield District Council, while LHA-ASRA housing group has bought and refurbished 38 properties all offered for rent and low cost ownership. Ten of the new bungalows are available for rental through LHA-ASRA.
