A turf cutting took place marking the start of a new council housing development in Millerston.
The site at Coshneuk Road, a former council depot, will house 17 new properties comprising a mix of one and two-bedroom flats, and two, three and four-bedroom houses including one disabled access bungalow.
We’re delivering highly energy efficient homes and these properties include a ground source heat pump system which helps cut heating emissions, reducing our carbon footprint, while making our homes more energy efficient and comfortable for our tenants. Other features include triple glazed windows and high levels of insultation as well as solar panels.
This development forms part of our new new supply programme to deliver 6,000 new homes by 2035.

Residents are being given advice on practical steps to prevent rats and mice around their homes.
We are contacting residents in areas affected by rats with an information leaflet explaining how to deter vermin from properties and gardens. Information is also available on our web site, including a video.
We have also been cutting back vegetation and removing rubbish in communities ahead of the winter months
Residents are encouraged to follow this advice as their action, combined with the work being carried out by the council, is the most effective way to deal with the issue.”
