Moray Council officially accepted over 30 new build homes at Banff Road in Keith.

The mixture of one-bedroom flats, two and three-bedroom accessible bungalows, and three-bedroom houses, built by Springfield, is a boost to the Counci'’s housing stock for affordable rent.

Chair of Moray Council’s Housing and Community Safety Committee, Cllr Amber Dunbar, said the new homes are a welcome addition to the local housing market.

"We're delighted to accept handover of another phase of this development.

"The majority of these properties have been allocated to households already living in Keith or in the surrounding area. We use a local lettings plan to help us decide who should be allocated one of our new build homes. This plan also helps us make sure our new developments create sustainable communities and ensures we make best use of housing stock."

Springfield Partnerships Managing Director, Tom Leggeat, said: "We are pleased to have been involved with the design and delivery of a collection of highly efficient homes in Keith, in partnership with Moray Council.

"We have a varied portfolio of house styles to suit a range of families, each that can be adapted to meet specific needs. It was heart-warming to hear first-hand the impact our involvement has made for Nicola, and we are delighted to have helped make a difference for her.

"We've delivered over 670 homes with Moray Council over the years, including these at Keith, and are looking forward to continuing to build quality homes with them across the region."
