This exciting new project comprises 16 homes; a mix of houses, cottage flats and wheelchair standard bungalows and is the 40th site in North Lanarkshire now complete or underway. It drives forward our pledge to deliver 5,000 affordable homes by 2035. 

All of our new homes are designed for the future with a range of innovative features. They are flexible enough to adapt as a tenant’s circumstances change, are secure by design and boast a ‘very good’ eco rating, saving tenants money on their bills while protecting the environment. 

Speaking about the new development at Roberts Street, Councillor Heather Brannan-McVey, Convener of Housing and Regeneration, said: “We’re continuing to provide modern, affordable homes across North Lanarkshire and our latest development signals another exciting chapter in our new build story. It’s also fitting that this year marks a decade on from the completion of our first new house building project under this programme, which was delivered in Holytown.

“I look forward to seeing this site progress to its completion and to our new tenants moving in.”

The £3.1m development is being delivered by Hadden Group, with a grant funding contribution of £944,000 being made by the Scottish Government. This new development is expected to be completed by the end of 2021.

Steven Brady, Managing Director at Hadden Group added: “Our team is pleased to be working in partnership with North Lanarkshire Council through the Scottish Procurement Alliance Housing Framework to bring our housing expertise to this development to provide high quality, energy efficient affordable homes in Wishaw.”
