Forth Housing Association marked the completion of its latest homes in Cultenhove, Stirling with the help of Provost Mike Robbins.

The development of 16 homes for rent is the first fruit of a new joint working partnership involving Cultenhove Opportunities Partnership and Forth. Under this partnership the new homes were planned and designed by a project group made up of local residents and Forth’s staff. The aim was to ensure that the new homes met the needs of the local community and were designed to fit in to the local environment.

The end result has been widely welcomed as a valuable addition to the area. The new homes not only fit well into the Cultenhove Community, they have provided high quality economical accommodation for 16 households. The partnership is therefore now moving on to Phase 2 and a Planning Application for 22 further homes nearby is currently being considered by Stirling Council.

Forth’s chairperson Margaret Turner said: “We’re delighted to mark the completion of these new cottage flats and it is even more encouraging to see people of all ages settling in well and turning their flats into homes.”
