South Lanarkshire Council is making progress on a new housing development in Larkhall.
The 38 homes which are being built on Avon Road in Larkhall are taking shape, with a mixture of flats, bungalows, terraced and semi-detached homes.
The homes are being constructed in partnership with Cruden and Hub South West who have already delivered 48 homes at Auldkirk Road in Cambuslang and 20 houses at Glengonnar Street in Larkhall.
The development is part of the council’s Home+ Programme which is part-funded by a grant from the Scottish Government’s Affordable Housing Supply Programme.
Chairman of the council’s housing and technical resources committee, Councillor Davie McLachlan, said: “It was fantastic to visit this site and see the progress being made on the new homes.
“There are a range of house types available, suitable for households with varying needs, which I am delighted about.
“They are also built to be of the highest standards of energy efficiency, which will help tenants save money on fuel costs.”
Gordon Lee, from Cruden, said: “We are delighted to be making such good progress on the Avon Road development and this is mainly due to the fact that we have been able to utilise the same site management team and core group of operatives who successfully delivered the Auldkirk and Glengonnar developments.
“In addition to sustaining our strong working relationships with South Lanarkshire Council we have also been able to continue our commitment to community benefits through employment and training initiatives within Larkhall and the surrounding area.”
Michael Ross, chief executive of Hub South West Scotland, said: “We’re pleased to see work is progressing well on this exciting housing project at Avon Road.
"To date Hub South West Scotland has delivered 252 housing units across South Lanarkshire at a cost of over £36 million.
“We’re looking forward to working closely with our partners to deliver more crucial infrastructure projects across the region and help drive economic and social benefits for the surrounding area.”
The development is set to be completed and in live-in condition by spring next year.
