Two new projects will form the blueprint for future council houses in Co Cork, as they are designed to be easily adapted for people who become disabled or for couples who require additional space as the size of their family increases. Council officials have announced they are shortly to seek planning for six one-bed social houses at Townsend Street, Skibbereen. Unlike social houses built previously, the bungalows can be easily adapted to suit changing needs. Officials hope the project will become a template for such housing into the future. Meanwhile, officials also unveiled details of an equally innovative social housing project which is planned for Dunmanway.
