Alan said: “This is our first development in Lanarkshire and one that we are all excited about bringing to life. Our partnership with Clyde Valley Housing Association will allow us to create much needed affordable homes that best serve the needs of the local community. All our homes are built to the highest standards and we look forward to bringing our quality product to the people of Motherwell.” John Turnbull, Head of Project Services at Clyde Valley Housing Association, said “This is an excellent project in a prime town centre site in Motherwell, which will deliver much needed first class accommodation for social rent in the area. We are looking forward to creating a positive partnership with Merchant Homes throughout the creation of this development”.
