Cash boost for Jericho revamp (From Oxford Mail)

Cash boost for Jericho revamp (From Oxford Mail)

CASH from the sale of a sheltered housing block looks set to help boost a community scheme redeveloping the heart of Jericho.

Plans to create a new public square, shops, a community centre, a bridge over the Oxford Canal and to reopen the Jericho Boatyard have been hanging in the balance.

But now Oxford City Council is ready to fund housing to help make the project viable.

Four community groups are locked in negotiations to buy the boatyard site, after the developers Spring Residential went into administration.
