New council housing developments have been completed in Coatbridge and Wishaw as North Lanarkshire’s building project continues to provide 5000 homes for rent by 2035.
Hundreds more are currently under construction, including at the cleared sites of demolished towers in Airdrie, as the initiative nears the landmark of its 1000th newly-constructed home.
The building projects have also resulted in community benefits ranging from the creation of jobs to donations given to local schools and good causes.
