Campion Homes is continuing work on a new £700,000 housing project in Fife.

The housebuilder is delivering six new rental homes at Linnwood Drive in Leven.

As part of the project, pupils from the nearby St Agatha's Primary school visited the site to learn about construction and see the new homes being completed for Kingdom Housing Association.

Bill Banks, group chief executive at Kingdom, said: "The Fife Alliance affordable housing programme allows various community initiatives to be progressed to bring added value to the housing projects, demonstrating they are much more than just bricks and mortar.

"As part of our community benefits approach, Kingdom is committed to working with local schools on all our new affordable housing projects. The project at Linnwood Drive is very close to St Agatha's Primary School, therefore this provided the opportunity for Kingdom and the contractor, Campion Homes, to give the children the chance to learn more about the construction sector and we hope the children have enjoyed their project and learnt more about house building."

Dougie Herd, Campion's construction director, said: "We are more than a house builder and are always keen to support the local communities where we are developing sites. I'm really glad the children enjoyed their visit and learnt more about how houses are built."

The Scottish Government has provided part funding of £470,000 towards the scheme as part of the Affordable Housing Investment Programme for Fife.

Once completed, the homes will be owned and rented out by Glen Housing Association.
