Plans are progressing to build 135 new council houses across two developments in Gallowhill and Johnstone.
Renfrewshire Council has awarded the design and build contracts to McTaggart Construction with public consultation events taking place later in May.There are 70 homes planned in Johnstone at a £14.2million development on the site of the former Cochrane Castle Primary School.
“In Johnstone, the homes are part of wider work to develop the area known locally as Howwood Road. We’re working with people living here to deliver new council houses and make improvements to existing homes so the close-knit community can stay together and live in warm and welcoming homes."Both newbuild developments will provide a mix of property types and sizes including cottage flats with direct access and garden areas, bungalows and houses.
“I look forward to seeing progress on these developments and continuing our significant investment in council housing, with £41million being spent this year on improvements to 1200 homes.” “Everyone deserves a warm and safe place to call home and these high-quality, energy-efficient properties will help to meet the needs of the local community for generations to come.
Drop-in public consultation events to discuss each development with the housebuilder are scheduled for later in the month.
