Work is progressing well on a new development of 20 affordable homes on Windsor Road in Blackburn, which is being delivered by Ring Stones on behalf of Onward Homes.
Construction began late last year after the site was cleared and prepared for development. The scheme includes four family houses and sixteen apartments for affordable rent, helping to widen the choice of good‑quality homes in an area where demand for affordable accommodation remains high.
Since work began, the Ring Stones team has completed the initial groundworks and key structural phases, with the development now taking visible shape on the site. Both organisations say the project represents an important investment in the local community, with a focus on delivering modern, energy‑efficient homes built to a high standard.
This project sees Ring Stones partner with an external housing provider for the very first time in Onward, who are one of the largest registered providers of social housing based solely in the North West of England.
James Macaree, Managing Director at Ring Stones, spoke on the partnership between Ring Stones and Onward.
He said: “We’re really excited to be working with Onward Homes to bring much‑needed, high‑quality, sustainable homes to the area.
“This project is all about creating real social value for the local community, and we’re proud to be playing our part in delivering something that will make a lasting difference for years to come.”
Speaking on the partnership and the development in general, Stephen Heverin, Director of Growth and Regeneration at Onward, said: “We’re pleased to see the progress being made by Ring Stones at Cabin End and look forward to seeing this development take shape over the coming months.
“We are seeing significant demand for more affordable housing in Hyndburn and we are delighted to be improving the quality and choice of homes in the area”
Further construction milestones will be shared as the development advances, with completion expected in late 2026.
