WE ARE COTTSWAY
Cottsway is the largest housing association and provider of social housing within West Oxfordshire. We also have properties in Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Worcestershire. Based in Witney we manage more than 4,500 homes – including houses, flats, bungalows and housing for over 55s. We also support 135 leaseholders and over 200 people living in shared ownership homes. Over the next five years, we aim to build 750 new homes.
We operate at the heart of our community and aim to be accessible and approachable. We want our residents to be able to ask for and receive, an efficient and effective service. This year, we are starting to develop 200 homes in the Cotswolds for affordable rent, to help provide homes for people who cannot afford to rent privately or buy. Within the next 18 months, we will also build over 100 homes for shared ownership in West Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds.
Cottsway Housing Association Ltd was formed in 2001 to receive the transfer of West Oxfordshire District Council’s housing stock. We are a not-for-profit housing association and our income comes entirely from rents. Cottsway became a charitable industrial and provident society in 2009.
