Rajgeer Court almost ready

Shepherds Bush Housing Association is quickly progressing with a new development solely for tenants in Southall, in the London Borough of Ealing.

The development, within walking distance of Southall rail station, will consist of some 19 properties, which include nine two bedroom flats, nine one bedroom apartments and a two bedroom flat exclusively for occupation by a wheelchair user.

Built on the site of 'The Bricklayers Arms' public house, the new building will be called Rajgeer Court, with 'rajgeer' being Punjabi for bricklayer. The choice of name reflects the ethnic diversity of the local community where the language is widely used by local residents.

The scheme is scheduled to be ready for tenants before the end of 2006.
