Caledonia Housing Association has completed the final phase of its £4 million Newhouse Road regeneration project in Perth.

The five year regeneration project has included the full refurbishment of 72 properties, the demolition of 30 flats and the creation of 13 new homes for affordable rent.

The final phase at Newhouse Road has seen the construction of two townhouses, two semi-detached townhouses and nine terraced homes in the middle of Newhouse Road. The highly energy efficient homes, built on the site of the 30 demolished flats, provide much needed family homes for affordable rent in Perth all designed for family living with private parking and both front and rear gardens.

The first phase of the £4million pound regeneration began in 2016 with an ambitious 100-week schedule to complete the refurbishment of 72 homes with new kitchens, bathrooms, windows, heating and doors.

Julie Cosgrove, Chief Executive of Caledonia Housing Association, said: "We knew from the beginning that this was an ambitious regeneration project and we could not be happier with the final results.

"Our team has done a great job of working closely with existing tenants to meet their housing needs at Newhouse Road or a suitable alternative. The support and patience from the community has been incredible throughout the entire project and I am sure they are just as impressed with the transformation as we are."

Alan Nairn, Chair of Caledonia's management board, said: "Regenerating homes and communities is an important objective for us as a housing association. We aim to modernise and maintain our existing housing stock and provide high quality, energy efficient affordable housing for our tenants. Seeing the difference in Newhouse Road and hearing the difference the regeneration has made to both the community and our tenants is testament to the fantastic vision and teamwork from all those involved at Caledonia."
