“These new homes will make a real difference for local families and strengthen our commitment to creating flourishing neighbourhoods across East Renfrewshire."

The project represents the latest milestone in the long-standing partnership between Barrhead Housing and AS Homes.
Barrhead Housing secured £2.4m in grant funding from the Scottish Government for the delivery of the development.
The housing association, which owns more than 1000 homes across East Renfrewshire, aims through its “Build homes, grow communities, delight customers” strategy, to deliver 336 affordable homes between now and 2030.
