CCG To Put Land Back Into Use In Edinburgh

Construction News Image
CCG will invest £47,000 to bring an area of land in south Edinburgh back into use by creating a new car park for the local community in Niddrie Mill.

Located at Moffat Drive, the new facility adds capacity to an area where limited car parking is available.

It is the latest social value initiative that has been undertaken in the area that has saw a series of job and training opportunities as well as donations to social enterprises since the company started work in 2015 where the former Niddrie Mill Primary School was successfully regenerated to deliver 66 mixed-tenure homes in addition to the new build construction of the Thistle Foundation Centre for Health and Wellbeing.

A further 194 homes are presently being constructed as part of the Craigmillar Town Centre Master Plan where CCG is working in partnership with the City of Edinburgh Council. This follows on from CCG's completion of 111 new affordable homes as part of the first phase of the Craigmillar Town Centre Masterplan on behalf of Dunedin Canmore – part of the Wheatley Group – earlier this year.

Calum Murray, Director of CCG, said: "This new car parking facility is testament to CCG's commitment to the community of Craigmillar. The area was not being used to its full potential and we, alongside the Council, were eager to see it brought into use.

"We look forward to continuing our work in Craigmillar which will see the delivery of modern, energy efficient housing as well as the provision of job and training opportunities and the donation to social enterprises and charitable organisations."
