Bricks and structures are being transformed into homes and workplaces at a pace on Farnborough Road. For the last few months NCHA have been working with Nottingham City Council and parish and ward councillors to name the roads and buildings that are emerging.
The chosen names are themed around the local area with the exception of the supported living flats, which have been named in memory
of NCHA founder – Andrew Malone
There are three main roads running around and through the development, which are:
- Charnwood Way
- Fairham Brook Drive
- Silverdale Lane
Charnwood is a link to the community centre that used to
be on the site years ago, and Fairham Brook and Silverdale both relate to the little brook that runs across the bottom of the development.
Along with naming the streets, NCHA needed to christen the
three new buildings; their workplace, the Independent Living for Older People apartments (ILOP) and the supported housing scheme.
For their workplace, they’ve been talking about moving to Clifton for so long, it felt fitting to call it Clifton Place.
When completed, the ILOP will be a huge presence on Farnborough Road and a focal point for the community. To recognise this, it will be called Farnborough Court.
Finally, the third building is the purpose-built supported housing scheme, and NCHA wanted to use this as an opportunity to remember and pay tribute to their founder, Andrew Malone.
As a result, this scheme will be called Malone Terrace.
