Work to create a pioneering Langholm housing development on the Murtholm Farm site begins this week.
The first phase of housing will see 35 “extra care” bungalows built – which are a first for Dumfries and Galloway – along with a new pedestrian footbridge from the west to the east bank of the River Esk to link the development with the town.
The site was purchased by Loreburn Housing Association in 2019 and contractors, Cubbie Construction Limited, will begin six-months of enabling works which are likely to cause some disruption to the traffic flow on the A7.
