Housing Developments in West Auckland  and St Helens

West Auckland and and St Helens Auckland over recent years has seen a house building boom. New houses in the area started in approx 1993 with the building of Challener Way in St Helens by Mccleans homes. This was followed by Harron Homes in West Auckland (on the Leech Estate) and Broseley Homes in St Helens (on the Wades builders merchants land). Broseley found it so successful they have continued to build on old hall farm and in the future on top of the recently bulldozed derelict Trax Motel and Night Club,  which looks on to the main route through St Helens (A688). At the time of building the first Broseley site named Mayfield Walk, new houses were being added to Manor rd by Lexington Payne Homes, they also created the old hall farm road, which Broseley have added to.

Whilst this was happening lots of work was being done in St Helens, as part of the regeneration of the area. Such as demolition of unsuitable housing on both old and newer council estates. Houses on Tintern Road were demolished behind leazes lane creating a much bigger green overlooking Fountain Square. Houses on around central drive have been knocked down and are now the site of a new housing estate West Bury Villas  by  Dunelm Castle Homes.

The former land occupied by the scrap yard and old bus depot (lockies if anyone remembers them just off leazes lane) is now home to many, the developers their are Bryant Homes. Further up leazes lane George Wimpy also created new housing.

Commercial land is available, St Helens is getting a Lidl Store on the site of former Elliot's Garage, opposite this is an enormous patch of land awaiting development, Bishop Auckland Football club have an interest in this. Over the last year interest was mooted about a cinema and bowling alley, however i believe this has fizzled out with the redevelopment of Bishop Auckland town centre. But I am led to believe that B & Q are still interested in a mini warehouse outlet.
