FAMILIES will soon be moving into their new homes on a former Hampshire hospital site.

The first phase to transform the former Coldeast Hospital in Sarisbury Green into a new neighbourhood has been completed with the unveiling of 18 new affordable homes.

The Homes and Communities Agency will eventually redevelop the 46- hectare site, now known as Admiral’s Wood, with 150 new homes, including 37 affordable homes to buy or rent.
