MSP Jackie Bailie has welcomed the progress being made on the latest phase of the housing-led regeneration in West Dunbartonshire.
Muir Road, a development of 66 affordable homes, is presently being constructed by CCG on behalf of Caledonia Housing Association and the Dumbarton constituency MSP was given a tour of the development and spoke with tenants who have settled into their new properties.
MSP Jackie Baillie said: "Bellsmyre is really coming back to life again as a result of the investment and regeneration of the area by Caledonia Housing Association.
"It was a joy to walk round the area last week and see the fantastic work which has been going on. I was delighted to see around some of the properties which are finished to a high standard and speak to tenants who are understandably thrilled with their new homes. It has not been an easy task to get to this point but it appears that the hard work is paying off.
"I want to thank Caledonia Housing Association for inviting me along and I know that further steps to improve the area are already in hand and will be taken forward in close communication with the tenants and residents of Bellsmyre."
Andrew Kilpatrick, Director of Assets at Caledonia, said:
"It was great to be able to show Jackie Baillie around our new homes, which form the first phase of our regeneration of the Bellsmyre area, and we're looking forward to working with West Dunbartonshire Council and the local community to deliver the remainder of the regeneration over the coming years."
CCG and Caledonia Housing Association will soon embark on a second phase of the masterplan with a further 140 homes set to be delivered at Whiteford Avenue.
