£6.5m Investment To Transform Perth & Kinross Traveller Site

Construction News Image
Ogilvie Construction has begun work on a £6.5 million project to upgrade the Double Dykes Traveller Site in Perth and Kinross.

The project will involve replacing existing chalets with 20 new, energy-efficient units equipped with renewable technology like solar panels. Additionally, the site will benefit from improved fencing, drainage, lighting, and the creation of new play and communal areas.

The aim of the project is to provide modern, comfortable, and sustainable accommodation for residents of the site.

Hosing and social wellbeing convener, Councillor Tom McEwan, said: "The work will totally transform the lives of Double Dykes residents. These existing chalets have been in place for some time and the replacement accommodation will be modern and energy efficient, helping residents to save on their bills. We have worked very closely with residents so far and this will continue. The replacement programme will be carried out in three phases to minimise disruption to residents."

David Mason, Operations Director North, Ogilvie Construction, said: "It is great to see site operations now up and running and we look forward to building new homes and an environment that will benefit residents for many years to come. Our team will work closely with residents and the local community to ensure minimum disruption throughout the project."
