Visiting St Paul's Construction Site

It is an absolute tragedy that in my constituency, there are still people classified homeless or in accommodation unfit for purpose. I know the Council works tirelessly to do everything possible to minimise this, but it is still greatly valued when new construction projects get underway to alleviate the problem.

The project seeks to fully refurbish the exterior of the building and provide much needed internal improvements and repairs, including new kitchen fittings and the introduction of a gas fired central heating system. It has garnered widespread support from the local community, including numerous charities and individuals; over £180,000 has been raised so far.St Paul's Homes have become more and more derelict over the past few years, and are in desperate need of refurbishment. I welcome the project that BCHA, in collaboration with Salisbury Trust for the Homeless, is undertaking.

I have no doubt that this development will become an important safe haven for those in need, and I wish BCHA and STFH every success with the project.
