Construction News Image
Riverside Scotland has teamed up with home builder Persimmon to deliver new homes in Monkton.

A total of fifty high-quality, affordable new homes will help local people in housing need, following the completion of a project with Persimmon West Scotland.

The homes have been built on Persimmon's Fairfields development in Monkton and include a variety of two and three bedroom properties.

Heather Anderson, Head of Service Delivery at Riverside Scotland was joined on site by the home builder’s West Scotland Managing Director, Chris Logan to mark the completion of the project and meet with local residents to hear how the new affordable homes are already benefitting families in need.

Ms Anderson said: "We are excited to be handing over another 50 high-quality, affordable homes for people in South Ayrshire.

"This is Riverside Scotland's second major investment in new housing in South Ayrshire after we delivered Scotland’s largest affordable modular housing development, which created 63 new high-quality homes in Dundonald.

"As in most places in Scotland, and the rest of the UK, the demand for social housing across Ayrshire far outweighs supply. In Monkton alone there is a waiting list of almost 900 applicants expressing a demand for social housing in the area.

"Riverside Scotland has been able to ramp up out housebuilding efforts and help to tackle this shortfall in social housing because we are part of the wider Riverside Group which gives us the financial resources to invest more money to deliver new homes. This project was also supported with Scottish Government funding.

"We committed to delivering 300 new homes across Ayrshire over a three-year period and with Monkton complete we will soon be able to say that we have helped 277 households to move off waiting lists into affordable, high-quality new homes."
