Residents were pleased to hear from Raymond Hodge, Development Manager of Link Housing Association, that the first 12 new houses at the Lower Mary Street development in Port Glasgow should be completed and handed over for occupation in September.
The remaining 34 homes should be completed in phases by February 2016. Mr Hodge agreed to arrange a visit to the site at Lower Mary Street for Task Group members some time in August.
The £5m development at Lower Mary Street comprises of 38 homes for social rent and 8 available to buy through the New Supply Shared Equity scheme. Priority for both types of housing is being given to current residents of the Clune Park area to facilitate the demolition and clearing of poor quality tenemental properties in that area.
