Executive Member for Housing at Fareham Borough Council, Cllr Fred Birkett said: “I am delighted to see these fabulous new shared ownership flats at Ophelia Court. This development provides much-needed affordable homes in the Borough and the opportunity for more people to step onto the housing ladder. Most of the flats have now been reserved which just shows the quality of what we have provided. I wish the new residents every happiness in their new homes.”
