Social housing welcomed

INDEPENDENT councillor Dessie Ward has welcomed the announcement that the new social housing development on Peggy's Loaning is nearing completion.

He said, “These houses will be allocated in three phases with the first phase of 12 two-bed flats and 16 three-bed houses being allocated on May 20.

“Half of the remaining three-bed houses will then be allocated two weeks later and the other half two weeks after that.

“This will be a welcome addition to the local social housing stock. There are currently hundreds of people languishing on social housing waiting lists in the area and this will go some way to alleviating the numbers of people who are in housing stress.

“Despite the recent arson attack on one of these houses I welcome the fact that this project is nearing completion.”
