Work has commenced on the £5.4m development of 25 new homes at Dalquhurn in Renton.

The 'much needed high quality, energy efficient and sustainable homes' will be provided by Cordale Housing Association, a subsidiary of Caledonia Housing Association, with contractor AS Homes already beginning work this week.

The project, which was partly funded by the Scottish Government for the amount of £2.6 million, will deliver 15 two-bed houses, 8 three-bed houses and 2 four-bed houses and is expected to be completed by next August.

The Cordale Committee, CHA's Chief Executive and the local Renton team visited the site to mark the beginning of works.
