Councillor Andy Forrest, East Lothian Council Spokesperson for Housing and Property Maintenance, said: "These new council homes will make a real difference to many tenants, who are either on the waiting list for a home or are waiting for a more suitable property. I'm particularly pleased that this development has a good mix of sizes of properties along with a number of wheelchair-accessible flats and bungalows. The demand for affordable housing in East Lothian continues to grow so more properties coming into council ownership is very good news."
