๐ต Building for the Future in Netherthird! ๐๏ธ๐ฑ
It was a real privilege to attend the official sod-cutting ceremony at the Shire Housing site in Netherthird earlier today. Marking the start of construction on this long-awaited project is a massive milestone for our area.
This development is going to be fantastic for the Netherthird community, transforming a vacant site into a vibrant neighbourhood. For many local families, this isn't just about bricks and mortarโitโs about providing high-quality, modern places to call home.
Key advantages this project brings to our area:
๐ 49 New Affordable Homes: A mix of 1, 2, and 3-bedroom properties to meet the high demand for housing in Cumnock.
โฟ Support for Independent Living: The site includes wheelchair-accessible homes and properties specifically designed for older residents, helping folks stay close to family and friends as their needs change.
โก Energy Efficiency: These homes are designed to be fuel-efficient, which is more important than ever for keeping household costs down.
๐ณ Revitalising our Community: Bringing this brownfield site back into use will enhance the local environment and strengthen the heart of Netherthird.
A huge well done to Shire Housing Association and Rosewood Homes for their hard work in getting this project off the ground. I look forward to seeing these houses take shape and, most importantly, seeing local families move in! ๐ โจ
