Work to build 15 new council homes in Fife is now complete.

The new 'affordable' housing was built on the site of a former communal car park in Methil.

The Durie Street homes are part of Fife Council's Affordable Housing Programme, which aims to deliver 2,700 new 'affordable' homes by May.

The project was completed one week ahead of schedule and range from one- and two-bedroomed flats to amenity cottages and a three bedroomed wheelchair-accessible bungalow. In addition, each property contains a garden and feature energy efficient heating/ventilation systems.

Speaking during a visit to the new development, Cllr Judy Hamilton said: "It's great to be here today to see this lovely development. It's another fine example of the housing developments that is being built by Fife Council Building Services, providing local construction jobs and apprenticeships.

"There's no doubt that this area of Methil has been given a new lease of life as this part of our Affordable Housing Programme is completed.  I am very pleased with our progress on this and our pledge to provide more good quality housing that tackles fuel poverty and improves living standards for residents."
