Council Leader Tony Buchanan said: "I am delighted with the positive response from the first phase of our Council house build project at Robertson Street. Improving the quality and range of housing suitable for East Renfrewshire resident's forms part of our Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP) 2018/19 – 2022/23 and I am delighted that we can deliver affordable and adaptable homes and expand our local communities for more residents to enjoy."

Calum Murray, Director of CCG, added: "The Robertson Street project has gone very well so far thanks to the use of our 'iQ' timber frame system which ensures a faster speed of construction and, upon completion, strong environmental performance.

"This same system will be used at Fenwick Drive and we look forward to continuing our partnership with East Renfrewshire in the delivery of the housing as well as providing local job and training opportunities."
