Another new council housing development is taking shape in Wishaw.
The council’s site at Dimsdale Road will feature 61 new homes for local residents.
A mix of homes are being built to meet a wide range of needs and include two, three and four bedroom homes, one and two bedroom cottage flats and two and three bedroom wheelchair bungalows.
The £10.6 million development is being delivered by CCG (Scotland) Ltd, with a contribution to each development being made by the Scottish Government.
Cutting the sod was Councilor Heather Brannan-McVey, convener of the council’s Housing and Regeneration Committee.
She was joined by local elected members Fiona Fotheringham and Jim Hume, council officers and representatives from contractor, CCG (Scotland) Ltd.
Councillor Brannan-McVey said: “This marks the first of a number of exciting events planned by our new build team signaling the real progress we’re making in providing fantastic new homes for our residents.
“Our new build homes are built to the highest standards with energy efficiency measures to help save on running costs for tenants and they all meet Housing for Varying Needs, which means homes are more accessible to adapt to tenants’ mobility needs.
“They are built for the future and will last for generations to come. We’ve just received confirmation that two of our new build developments have been shortlisted as finalists for the Scottish Homes Awards.
“This is testament to the first-class new builds we’re delivering.
“I look forward to watching the progress on this site and to visiting the tenants making our new builds their homes.”
