New £2m development to replace unpopular multi-storey flats
With a £649,000 grant, 11 new homes with gardens and parking have been built in place.
A £2m housing development with 11 new homes has replaced unpopular multi-storey flats in Angus.
With a £649,000 grant from the Scottish Government's affordable housing supply programme, the new semi-detached houses have secure gardens and a new parking space for 21 vehicles.
Four of the properties are suitable for residents with disabilities, and all of the addresses have solar panels, high levels of insulation and ventilation.
The new housing in Forfar was officially handed over to its residents on Thursday.
Councillor Craig Fotheringham said: "It is a pleasure to see tenants settling in to their new surroundings.
"Having seen the old, unloved flats demolished, we are sure that tenants will be proud to call these splendid new houses home.
"We placed a high priority on tenant inclusion, with our communities team working closely with local residents and groups to deliver a new entrance to Reid Park and a new path from Steele Park as part of this project."
