Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes have opened the new Kingsbrook Community Hub. The hub was presented to Kingsbrook Parish Council with a ceremonial key and declared open at a ribbon-cutting event. Residents were invited inside to view the space and were offered refreshments and a children's entertainer. The £2m hub was funded from the housebuilders' S106 contributions as part of wider investment in Kingsbrook. Key details: - Opening marked by a ceremonial key handover and ribbon-cutting at the launch weekend. - The £2m Kingsbrook Community Hub is funded from Barratt and David Wilson's S106 contributions. - The hub complements existing facilities including two primary schools, a secondary school, two children's nurseries, Kingsbrook Dental and retail units such as Tesco, Wenzel's bakery and Esquires cafe. - Kingsbrook includes more than 500 acres of public green space and Railway Park with a wildlife sculpture trail. - Works are due to begin later this year on a 250-acre nature reserve and visitor centre called Kingsbrook Meadows. Summary: The new hub adds a flexible community space intended for Kingsbrook residents and surrounding areas and forms part of the housebuilders' wider community investment.
