Prefabricated buildings are to be used by Bristol City Council on a new housing project to replace bungalows that have been homes to families since the Second World War.
As part of a £1.2m contract, manufacturer Elliot Group has already provided 15 homes in the first phase of the replacement programme and another 20 are due before the end of the year.
Prefabricated buildings were used after the Second World War to house people whose homes were blown away during the Blitz. The 700 that are left in Bristol have become a priority for replacement even though they have lasted half a century, significantly longer than their 30-year design life.
