New homes in Bowmore are very welcome

I was delighted to attend the new Argyll Community Housing Association (ACHA) homes opening ceremony on October 4 in Bowmore. It was great to meet the new tenants, the local ACHA team and ACHA’s chief executive Alastair MacGregor.

Ileach and Scottish news and current affairs broadcaster Glenn Campbell cut the ribbon and handed out keys to the new tenants.

I would like to thank the front-line builders and tradesmen for working hard to provide these new homes. Another huge thanks to the event organisers and Bowmore Primary School choir for their tremendous performance.

As a social housing tenant, I know all too well the importance and the need for rental properties that are affordable and in the right areas.

I wish the new tenants all the very best for their future in their new homes. Councillor Alastair Redman, Islay.
