Ayr-based main contractor Clyde Coast Contracts started work on site in June last year and completed on May 10.
The overall development costs to deliver the contract was £1,963,000. The Association was awarded £1.089m from the Scottish Government to support the delivery of these new homes. A total of 13 new homes for rent have been provided, a mixture of 2- & 3-bedroom family houses as well as 2 cottage flats.
A closing ceremony was held on May 10 to mark the completion of the properties and to showcase the naming of the street after Janet Strang, a long-standing CHA board member and former chairperson of Cunninghame Housing Association.
Frank Sweeney, Group CEO of Cunninghame Housing Association, said: “Working in partnership with both North Ayrshire Council and the Scottish Government to deliver this new project, we are delighted with the finished product, which offers much needed, desirable, quality accommodation for rent in this popular part of Saltcoats.”
Janet Strang, CHA company secretary, added: “I am absolutely thrilled that this street has been named after myself. My thanks to the Three Towns Area Committee for the honour – most appreciated.”
