New-Build Council Housing Community Consultation

The first in a series of community consultation events about Aberdeen City Council's ambitious new-build local authority housing programme takes place next week.

The programme has already begun with the demolition of a derelict block of tenements in Hayton Road.

The demolition has paved the way for the council to begin building the first new council homes in Aberdeen for a generation.

Three sites are to be developed across the city as part of the council's new-build housing programme. About 90 homes will be built at the Hayton Road site, the old nursery site at Byron Park, in Northfield, and Rorie Hall in Cults.

The properties will be environmentally sustainable, quality homes. These developments mark the first phase of an £11.5m programme to create new council homes across the city.

Draft sketch designs of the planned new homes will be on show during the consultation events. Staff will be on hand to discuss the plans and respond to any questions or comments raised.

The first event, which will focus on the Hayton Road development, takes place at St George's Church, Tillydrone on Monday (15 June).

The community consultation event for the Byron Park development will take place on Wednesday (17 June) at Northfield Community Centre.

The final event will focus on the Rorie Hall development. It will take place at Cults Parish Church Outreach Centre on Monday, 22 June.

Drop-in sessions will be held at each venue, running from 2pm to 4pm and 6pm to 8pm.
