City councillors have approved a £67million scheme which will result in more than 1000 affordable homes being built across the city.
Some of the largest projects will be build in the Cadder, Govan, Nitshill, Parkhead and Partick areas.

While most of the cash in the council’s affordable housing supply programme will go towards the development of new and affordable homes in the city, £2.5m has been set aside to carry out medical adaptations.

These will include the construction of ramps, widening of doors, lowering of kitchen work surfaces and new showers required by the tenants of homes managed by registered social landlords.

The council will also work with Glasgow, Cube and Loretto housing associations on a new build programme of 783 homes with the biggest developments in Cranhill, Drumchapel, Easterhouse and the Gallowgate.

City council leader Frank McAveety said: “One of the most striking changes in Glasgow over the past few years has been the building of thousands of high quality, affordable homes and I am pleased to see we will be supporting the construction of so many of these over the course of the financial year.

“Ensuring people and families have access to good-quality homes is one of the most important things we as a council can do and I am determined to work with all of our partners in the public and private sectors to ensure this happens.

“It should also not be forgotten that the construction of such a high number of homes creates construction jobs and benefits the city’s economy.”
