Local ward councillors for Moodiesburn Willie Doolan, Greg Lennon and Michael McPake toured the site and met some of the residents, along with North Lanarkshire Council Enterprise and housing committee convener Allan Graham.

Councillor Graham said: “As part of our NL Homes programme, North Lanarkshire Council remains committed to playing its full part in delivering many more new affordable homes that are needed locally to meet demand.

“This is an important contribution to that effort and working together with our partners we can improve the lives of local people.”

Link group Chief Executive Craig Sanderson said: “It’s particularly gratifying to be able to offer a mix of different tenures on the same site.
