The scheme will see 127 flats at Warrender Park refurbished across four floors in three separate phases, with work taking place in summer 2017, 2018 and 2019.

The deal follows Clark Contracts successful completion of external upgrades to Warrender Park in 2016, which involved contractors Manufactured Joinery Division creating a new bell tower.
