CONSTRUCTION work has started on the first new designated affordable rental housing in the Ulva Ferry area on the Isle of Mull for decades.
Just six years since the local primary school was threatened with closure, instigating a community campaign to bring affordable housing to the area to stem decades of population decline, building work has now started on two family homes.
A joint venture between the Ulva School Community Association (USCA) and Mull and Iona Community Trust (MICT), the Ulva Ferry Housing Partnership’s homes are being built next to Ulva Ferry’s school, to be let to local families.
