Stirling Council Completes Housing Development

A new housing development has been completed in Stirling.

Ten bungalows have been built by the council's housing service on Main Street and Burns Terrace in Cowie.

The mix of one and two-bedroom properties add to further bungalows previously completed in Cornton and Riverside as well as Killearn.

Housing Portfolio Holder, Cllr Violet Weir, said: "It's one of this administration's key priorities to build more socially rented housing and the homes here add to a number already completed this year, along with others due to be made available in the near future.

"I'm particularly pleased that these homes in Cowie were able to be built by our own in-house team and that the addition of more bungalows to the housing stock in general enables us to better serve elderly and disabled tenants in particular."

Since 2012 Stirling Council has either built or purchased more than 100 new flats and houses for social rent.
