Eight homes are built to wheelchair standard with the remaining 13 built to an amenity standard, meaning they adapt to suit the future needs of tenants.

They have access to a communal EV charging pillar with two charging points, a communal garden, complete with a timber bench built and fitted by students at New College Lanarkshire.

Convener of Housing, Councillor Michael McPake, said: “It’s great to see first-hand the fantastic new homes we’re building across North Lanarkshire and to speak to the tenants who are living in them.

"Tenants tell us they’re delighted with the quality of their homes and the high standard of the build.

“Our new homes are not only improving the lives of our residents, they are transforming communities, delivering local jobs and community benefits and boosting the local economy.

"We are committed to providing first-class homes and investing in the regeneration of our local communities to make North Lanarkshire the place to live.”
