Flats previously earmarked for demolition in Saltcoats are to be refurbished and used to house Ukrainian war victims.
Five blocks of three-storey flats in Glebe Place will be upgraded after North Ayrshire Council received £486,000 funding through the Scottish Government’s Ukraine Longer-Term Resettlement Fund.
Up to 30 properties will be brought back into use for a period of three years after which they will be reassessed as part of the council’s new build housing programme.
