Ambitious plans to create 1,000 new council homes could help trigger a major economic boost for North Ayrshire with the creation of thousands of new jobs.
North Ayrshire Council’s cabinet last week approved its new Strategic Housing Investment Plan which outlined how a new generation of social housing will be created over the next five years.
As well as addressing much-needed demand for affordable housing, it is also expected that the house-building programme will produce financial spinoffs for the area.
