A housing project which brings colour to Cumbernauld is proving popular with residents.

Sanctuary’s £4.3 million Ochilview Court development was built on the site of a former nursing home in Seafar by Cruden Buildings and Renewals Limited.

Most of the 39 flats off Hume Road were handed over to occupants of Hume Road’s high-rise blocks.

Marina Gardiner moved to Ochilview Court from an 11th floor flat in Blair House.

“Most of the residents are from the neighbouring blocks, so it’s nice to see familiar faces.”
