A £1M regeneration scheme on the outskirts of Bretch Hill, Banbury, has boosted the number of affordable houses in the town.
Ten prefabs in Withycombe Drive, owned by Banbury Homes Housing Association, were demolished to make way for 16 new properties.
The development, a mixture of two-and three-bedroomed houses, provides a mix of affordable rented accommodation and private housing.
At the official opening ceremony, Cherwell District Council chairman Maureen Hastings called for similar projects in other areas.
She said: "People want these sort of houses and we have to do something about it."
Banbury Homes chairman Noel Towe also underlined the need for more affordable and 'for rent' homes in and around the town.
He said: "There are huge opportunities to tackle sustainable projects in this region and to regenerate areas that were leading developments in the 60s and 70s but which now need to be looked at again, and given the kind of treatment that will improve the environment and the standard of accommodation."
