Manchester Withington MP Jeff Smith met residents who have moved into the new Oasis Close in Burnage alongside Lord Mayor Carl Austin.

Oasis Close is a new development by local housing provider Southway.  The new, smaller properties will allow people the opportunity to downsize to brand new homes while freeing up three-bedroom houses for local families.  Pictured above is long time Burnage resident Elsie, who was happy to move into the new development, along with some of her other neighbours from the local area.

Commenting on the development, Jeff said: “As a former board member of Southway, I’m delighted to see the trust take advantage of opportunities to provide new affordable housing in South Manchester.

I wish Elsie and the other people moving into the new development the best of luck as they settle in.”
