Construction work has begun on a new social housing development in Barrhead, East Renfrewshire.
The work, which is taking place at the Fenwick Drive site, is part of
East Renfrewshire Council's plans to provide 240 new homes for social rent over the next five years.
This is the second project in the Council's commitment to deliver council homes, following the site at Robertson Street in Barrhead, where work commenced earlier this year.
The Fenwick Drive development will be home to four three-bedroom terrace houses and six one-bedroom cottage flats and is expected to be completed in February 2019.
A third site at Blackbyres Court, Barrhead, will see thirteen three-bedroom terraced and semi-detached houses, one four-bedroom house and six one-bedroom cottage flats built, with work expected to commence in Autumn 2018.
Each of the projects are being delivered in partnership with leading building contractor CCG (Scotland) Ltd. Based in Glasgow, the firm is one of Scotland's most innovative contractor and manufacturers with a key focus in the delivery of affordable housing.
