Major steps forward have been taken in the infrastructure at a new development as part of the East Kilbride Community Growth Area.
The delivery of a new three-armed roundabout on Eaglesham Road and the first section of the arterial spine road - that will eventually join Jackton to Lindsayfield, represents a significant step forward in the housebuilder Cala's plans for the site.
Their Sequoia Meadows development offers a range of homes, including one and two-bedroom apartments, three-bed terraced and four and five-bedroom detached homes.
The completion of the the infrastructure has also enabled construction work to begin on South Lanarkshire Council’s new purpose-built nursery and primary school.
The opening of the roundabout is the start of a busy 12 months for Cala at the site.
As well as the first homes nearing completion, the council housing development comprising 24 amenity flats suitable for older people will also be available for occupation in early spring.
These flats have been built with a funding contribution from the Scottish Government’s Affordable Housing Supply Programme, towards costs.
Sequoia Meadows will form part of a new community offering around 2000 homes and contributing to the East Kilbride Community Growth Area (CGA). Several developers are currently on site.
The wider development will feature a new primary school, several play areas, well designed amenity space and retail facilities. New cycleways and footpaths will encourage and promote sustainable lifestyles and create safe access to local amenities.
Fraser Dick from Cala said: “We were delighted to see the completion of the new three-arm roundabout on the Eaglesham Road which marked a significant milestone for the Jacktonhall Community Growth Area, since this infrastructure is key to the opening up of the development more generally.
“Sequoia Meadows represents only part of a major ongoing investment by Cala in terms of the new community being created at Jacktonhall and we are looking forward to playing a leading role in the area’s transformation.”
