HOUSES have already been sold on a new development on the outskirts of Wellington.

The first phase at Jurston Fields will see 193 homes built which will include affordable housing.

Mayor of Wellington Janet Lloyd has officially opened the development’s show houses.

Phillip Fry said: “The launch of the development and the opening of the show homes has been much anticipated by the local community, so we were delighted to welcome the Mayor to the opening.

“It gave all those who attended the opportunity to see for themselves the progress that has been made with the development.”

It is C G Fry & Son’s only development in Somerset. When finished the site will consist of 650 homes.
