Work on more than 30 affordable homes in Paisley now complete
Built by McTaggart Construction, the 33 new homes for Williamsburgh Housing Association have been erected at Cartha Crescent. The delivery of the homes was made available due to the efforts with Renfrewshire Council and a grant of £3.2 million from The Scottish Government's Affordable Housing Supply Programme. The project site, located approximately 1.3 km southeast of the town centre, was previously an unoccupied area of land. It is claimed that the development will "provide much-needed affordable housing solutions" and contribute to "addressing the ongoing housing crisis in the region". Allan Russell, a local and the site manager who led the project to completion, said: "Cartha Crescent has been an excellent development, and it holds a special place in my heart as it marks my first project in a leadership role. "The opportunity to grow from starting out with McTaggart to leading this significant project highlights the dedication and commitment of the entire McTaggart Construction team."

"The area has been completely transformed and everyone at WHA is thrilled for the tenants who have such a vibrant place to call home. "I would like to express my thanks to the team at McTaggart Construction who have worked tirelessly to deliver this project." George Adam MSP also praised the development. He added: "It was a real pleasure to have the chance to visit these new energy efficient homes, they have a really modern design, they are very spacious, and I was very impressed with the structural elements and fittings within each new home. "Williamsburgh Housing Association and McTaggart Construction have produced housing that is a credit to our town and the local community, they are to be congratulated. "With a bit of help from the Scottish Government this is the type of affordable housing that we should aspire to create throughout the country."
