The Inside Housing Development Awards are the 'Olympics of social housing' and an incredible six projects from across Eastbourne and Newhaven are on the shortlist for the prestigious accolades.

Council housing schemes in Eastbourne at Fort Lane (best development up to 3 storeys) and The Glenn in Southfields Road (best development 4+ storeys and best affordable housing development - less than £10m) and Stowe Place in Newhaven (best development 4+ storeys and best affordable development - less than £10m) are all in line for recognition at the Inside Housing awards in September.

Councillor Mark Slater, Cabinet Member for Housing at Lewes District Council, said:

"This recognition is most deserved for the work our officers are doing to raise social housing standards and the supply of affordable council homes. I am sure that the judges will be hugely impressed by the shortlisted projects."

The officers have also been shortlisted for the best development team award in the urban category.

The award winners will be announced on September 27 in London.
