A 12-year transformation project has been completed in Demondale, Arbroath.
The regeneration included a succession of housing renewals and environmental improvements to enhance the physical landscape and surroundings in the area.
Four new affordable homes were built in Noran Avenue by Bancon Construction, signalling the end of the project.
Angus Council housing spokesperson, Cllr Lois Speed said: "It is good to see tenants settling in to their new accommodation and surroundings at Noran Avenue and to see how the regeneration programme has improved the quality of life for local residents and transformed the area into a place that people can be proud to call home.
"We want to make sure people have great places to live – that is about more than just bricks and mortar – it's about providing people with a safe and stable environment to help set the foundation for better educational attainment, and training and employment opportunities. It's about helping to improve health and wellbeing, combating poverty, and helping boost the local economy through investment."
The new homes will also contribute to the target to provide over 600 new supply affordable properties in Angus over the next five years.
Gavin Currie, managing director of Bancon Construction, said: "We have worked closely with Angus Council on the design and build of four bespoke, energy efficient houses at Noran Avenue in Arbroath, which includes accessible properties that have been fully adapted to accommodate wheelchairs. We were extremely pleased to be awarded the contract by Angus Council, which reflects our experience in constructing high quality buildings for residential and healthcare use."
