Location:

Clydebank & Erskine, Dalmuir

Description:

The Dalmuir regeneration project involves the phased demolition of 292 obsolete tenement flats and associated phased construction of 162 new houses and flats on two sites straddling the Forth and Clyde Canal at Dalmuir.

Phase one of the regeneration project saw two new four-storey blocks  built on Jellicoe Street, with low-rise houses with gardens will be built along the south side of Castle Street and Beatty Street. Each of the 31 new homes - including two properties suitable for wheelchair users - will be allocated to existing Dalmuir residents at affordable rents.

The Link Group, who are leading this project, are working with the local community and partner agencies. Their vision is to meet the need for quality, affordable homes for the people of Dalmuir. The housing mix of the new scheme ensures that those who are less mobile can access their homes more easily and  families can enjoy more spacious properties with gardens. The high quality design and specification will minimise fuel poverty while the whole project will ensure that the local community can thrive - now and in the future.

Current status:

Phases 1 and 1B (42 houses and flats) completed June 2009. Phases 2 and 3 (72 houses and flats) currently delayed. Beardmore Place (48 units) started on site June 2009, completed September 2010.

Timescale:

2007 - 2012

Cost:

£17m
