A group of young residents of Creil carried out the groundwork for seven terraced houses being built on Kiekendiefstraat. Using tractors and dumpers normally used for agricultural work, they excavated and filled the site themselves as part of a Collective Private Clientship project, with the aim of saving thousands of euros on their future homes. Parents helped provide food and drinks, while professionals are taking over the remaining construction work. The first piles are due to be driven on Friday, and the homes are expected to be completed in about a year.
