Housing minister Kevin Stewart visited Sanctuary Scotland tenants in Glasgow to hear how they had settled into their new homes.

Mr Stewart took the time to see Sanctuary’s seven-storey Ellerslie Crescent project in Yoker, which overlooks the River Clyde.

The £6 million development by Sanctuary Homes is made from Cross Laminated Timber and was completed earlier this year. The project received a £2.6m Glasgow City Council grant.

Residents Mikael Dobbie and Shona Boyd welcomed the minister into two of the 42 flats available for mid-market rent.

Following his visit, Mr Stewart said: “I was delighted to be invited into Mikael and Shona’s homes to see how this innovative new development is delivering warm, comfortable and more affordable flats.

“It is heartening to see the positive impact the provision of good quality new homes in Yoker is having for the residents and the area.”
