CAMBRIDGESHIRE HOMEBUILDER’S NEW DEVELOPMENT TO BRING BOOST OF OVER 800 JOBS

Barratt Homes Eastern Counties has announced that its new development in Cambridgeshire will underpin approximately 820 jobs for local people.

The leading developer is set to deliver a total of 410 new homes to its upcoming Franklin Gardens development in Cambridge, an extension to the existing Darwin Green community which is set to provide the jobs to workers in the area throughout the development process.

The housebuilder predominately employs local sub-contractors and tradesmen, including apprentices, so local businesses and people will benefit directly from the jobs.

Simon Wood, Managing Director at Barratt Homes Eastern Counties, said: “Our Franklin Gardens development in Cambridge will provide much needed housing in the area. This is also great news for the local economy with the jobs that will be underpinned whilst we’re building the new homes.

“We aim to support local sub-contractors and tradesmen where possible to ensure the areas in which we build benefit directly from our developments.

“Our dedicated team at Barratt Homes is very much looking forward to helping people find the right homes for them, with the great variety of homes available across the new developments.”

Perfect for commuters, the location of Franklin Gardens provides easy access to the A14, M11 and Cambridge train station, while Cambridge University, Regional College, the Science Park and Addenbrooke’s Hospital are all within close reach.

For families, there’s a variety of schools, shops, sports and healthcare facilities and a new supermarket all within walking distance.
