THE KEYS to eight new affordable family homes on Oban’s Sunderland Drive will be handed to their new tenants tomorrow (Friday November 17).
The four three-bedroom and four two-bedroom social houses, built by MacLeod Construction with a contract cost of £1.2 million, will be officially opened by Councillor Robin Currie, policy lead for housing at Argyll and Bute Council. The new tenants will be piped in by Angus MacColl.
The homes will be rented at affordable rates through Argyll Community Housing Association (ACHA). The eight homes are part of a 122-unit programme to meet housing need throughout Argyll and Bute. ACHA also plans to build another 230 in the lifetime of the current Scottish Parliament.
