First tenants move into new housing development

The first Midlothian tenants have moved into their new homes at the Bellway Homes development at Shawfair in Danderhall.

New homes

Bellway have built 18 properties for Midlothian Council at this site. This comprises two, three and four bedroom homes.

Heating

Cost effective air source heating has been installed at these properties.

New home for Christmas

The properties were completed at the end of December and Gary Robinson and his partner were able to move in just before Christmas.

Overjoyed

Gary who has been on the housing waiting list since 2018, is overjoyed with his new two-bedroom terraced home. He said:

“I’m really happy with my new home. It’s been built to a high standard and I’m enjoying living here.”

Make a difference

Cllr Stuart McKenzie, Cabinet Member for Housing said: “It was a pleasure to meet Gary, one of the first tenants to move into this development. I am delighted to hear that he is happy with his new home and settling in well.  New, modern homes like these can make a world of difference to people’s lives.”

Next phase

The next phase of properties will be released later in the year.
