Historic Factory Transformed into Modern Flats

0:00A rundown historic factory in Henkley, Lestoshire, is set for a major makeover into 25 new flats after the local council gave the green. Light. The old geahosury and pufferhosure works off upper bond street, will house 21 one-bedroom units and four two-bedroom ones, turning A, neglected spot into fresh housing. Scaffolding just went up around the site, signaling work is about to kick off. These buildings set empty for years, drawing vandals with smashed windows and strip metal pipes, leaving them in bad shape. Neighbors are breathing a sigh of relief, calling to place a total eyesore that's begged for change. Still, parking tops there worries, with folks nearby saying 25 new homes will strain the already tight streets around the town center. The council located thanks to the prime spot near bus and train stations, calling it highly sustainable. Developers are pitching in with 25 covered bike spots, five for motorcycles, and a 16,472 pound community, fund.
