"The whole Haslam Homes team is looking forward to having this opportunity to deliver new environmentally sound, affordable homes within Shirebrook which is right at the heart of our region.

"This scheme is close to a development of five 'eco-homes' refurbished through the MVMP project, all of which are now either sold or under offer, and we anticipate similar levels of interest in the new Haslam Homes development.
It's a prime example of how MVMP and partners are delivering sustainable communities.".
