A new £4.7 million council housing development has been opened in North Lanarkshire.

A total of 30 new homes were built by Wates Living at Barrie Place in Kilsyth.

Features include a mix of cottage flats, amenity and family homes. The project was carried out as part of the council's NL Homes programme, which aims to deliver more than 2,000 new homes.


Speaking during the opening ceremony, Depute Provost Jean Jones said: "It's always a pleasure to attend official openings and to see for myself how tenants are settling in and to spend some time listening to their experiences of living in a new build.

"I look forward to further progress being made on sites across North Lanarkshire and I'm confident we'll continue to deliver on our pledge to build more modern affordable homes for North Lanarkshire's residents and benefit communities across the area."
