Former pub site offered to developer at discount in deal for 40 low-cost homes

Senior councillors are also expected to approve the sale of the ex-Greenwood pub site in Woodhouse Park ward at the executive meeting on Friday (July 22).
Labour councillor Gavin White, who is the executive member for housing and development said these plans put the council's housing ambitions into action. He said: "The city’s population is
