Himley Village Bicester

Local development should mean local jobs. Himley Village is a new community of up to 1,700 homes on Middleton Stoney Road in Bicester, as part of the North West Bicester Eco-Town. Employment and training opportunities on the development are advertised on the platform to allow local residents to benefit directly from the opportunities in Himley Village. Cala is building 500 homes at Himley Village as part of the sustainable masterplan. With homes ranging from 2 to 5 bedrooms, the homes will form part of the Eco-Town that aims to create a sustainable community that has a positive impact on local residents. Every home is gas free: air source heat pumps, solar PV, underfloor heating and electric vehicle charging, on a development targeting net zero operational carbon. That shapes the work on offer. Timber frame, solar, heat pumps and EV charging are the trades this build needs, and they are the trades the apprenticeships and local recruitment are built around. Cala is committed to ensuring every apprenticeship, job, training place and supply chain opportunity goes to residents in Bicester and within 5 miles first, then across Oxfordshire. This site is where those commitments turn into something a Bicester resident can act on. Opportunity Himley Village lists every job, apprenticeship and training place in one searchable feed. It also holds the registered local supplier directory, promoting local businesses and contributing to the local economic ecosystem. The platform also gives Cherwell District Council and Enterprise Oxfordshire a dated record of delivery from day one. Storey Consulting is the appointed Local Employment Coordinator and the single point of contact for the plan.
