Views are being sought on plans to turn East Dunbartonshire Council's former headquarters into a new affordable housing development.

The Tom Johnston House site will be transformed into 90 affordable homes, including social rented and shared equity flats and houses.

East Dunbartonshire Council and hub West Scotland are delivering the project.

A public event will be held on 06 March from 3pm-7.30pm at Kirkintulloch Leisure Centre for locals to view and comment on the proposals.


Councillor Billy Hendry, Convener of the Council's Place, Neighbourhood & Corporate Assets Committee, said: "This proposed development is much-anticipated and will increase the stock of high quality affordable homes in the area.

"The exhibition will allow members of the public to have a more detailed look at the proposal and to give feedback. There will be experts on hand to answer questions and provide further details on the plans and drawings. For those unable to attend, the plans will also be made available online."

Iain Marley, CEO of hub West Scotland, added: "The site offers great potential to create a high quality housing development and we will ensure that local communities and businesses derive maximum benefit from the investment. Hub West Scotland is delighted to partner with East Dunbartonshire Council to deliver this development."
