Council marks the completion of new-build development
Perth and Kinross Council has celebrated the completion of its latest development of new-build homes.
The 20 one and two bedroomed flats at Birch Avenue in Scone have been delivered by CCG (Scotland) Ltd.
They were visited by housing and communities convener Councillor Peter Barrett last week. Councillor Barrett said: “These flats will provide additional high-quality, socially-rented accommodation in the town for our tenants and enhance the lives of the people who live in them. It’s especially welcome that this development contains a large number of one-bedroom properties, as there is an acute need for this type of accommodation across the area.
“These new council flats won’t just benefit the tenants who will live in them. The homes, along with those at another proposed council development at the site of the former Glebe School, will contribute to the local community and economy.” Peter Barrett, Clare Mailer (head of housing), Keith McNamara (deputy director), Cllr Lewis Simpson, Cllr Colin Stewart, Karen Shaw (CCG business development manager)
CCG director, Calum Murray, added:“Birch Avenue is the fourth project to have been delivered by CCG on behalf of Perth and Kinross Council with the creation of over 50 affordable homes in the region over the last year, all constructed using‘off-site’methods to ensure quality and efficiency standards. CCG also sustained local employment and training opportunities for the works and we look forward to continuing this approach with the council in 2018 and beyond.”
