June Taggart: Florence Street, Blaydon

June Taggart was able to move into a three-bedroom terraced house in Florence Street, thanks to the provision of affordable housing by Two Castles Housing Association.
She previously lived in a two-bedroom property in Crawcrook, near Ryton, so her new home benefits from additional space for her two children, as well as improved transport routes to her work at the MetroCentre.
June said: “I am delighted with my new home, as it gives me the additional living space I need for my teenage son and daughter. Living in a two-bedroom property wasn’t practical as my son stays with me three nights of the week, which resulted in me sleeping on the sofa.
“It’s great to be back in Blaydon as I lived in the area for over 20 years, before moving out of my marital home into a privately rented property in Crawcrook.
“I also cut my commute to work down by half as the area has great bus links. Moving into my new home was a fantastic way to start I look forward to living here for many years to come.”
