Over 20 New Council Homes Complete In Stirling

Work on over 20 new council homes has been completed in Stirling.

Stirling Council delivered a further 24 houses at St. Ninians King's Meadow development this summer.

This is in addition to 10 properties at King's Meadow that were handed over at the end of 2020 and are already let to Stirling Council tenants.

The houses were built as part of Stirling Council's Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP) which aims to provide new, high-quality, sustainable, affordable homes for Stirling residents.

Each home benefits from private garden space and parking, and will also be fitted with solar panels and battery storage with the aim of reducing fuel poverty.

Since April 2017 Stirling Council has delivered 219 additional social rented properties and its Registered Social Landlord (RSL) partners 158 properties. Stirling Council currently has a further 154 units under construction, while its RSL partners have an additional 185 units under construction.

Housing Portfolio Holder, Councillor Jim Thomson, said: "After a challenging year for the construction industry, I am pleased that Ogilvie Homes has been able to complete 24 new, high quality homes for Stirling Council, which will be made available to people on our housing list."
