Helen Moonie, the Provost of South Ayrshire, has officially opened a new housing development in Maybole.

The 13 homes, developed by Ayrshire Housing, have been constructed on a site that looks onto the Southern Uplands. The land was made available to the housing association through South Ayrshire Council's planning policy on affordable housing, which requires all but the smallest private housing developments to include affordable housing – such as new Council or housing association homes for rent.

Within the latest development, it consists of nine two-bedroom and four three-bedroom houses that have been designed to accommodate a range of needs, the housing association has said.

Speaking at the opening, Provost Moonie said: "I'm delighted with this the latest partnership between the Council, the Scottish Government and Ayrshire Housing. The houses have been carefully designed to meet the needs of the tenants and with energy efficiency in mind. The architects Austin-Smith:Lord and the builder Ashleigh (Scotland) have done an excellent job."
