A #1m contract for the development of a range of special homes in
Inverness has ben completed by builders Hugh MacRae & Company.
The scheme is a joint venture between Albyn Housing Society and Key
Housing Association and is the latest in a number of similar
developments undertaken by Inverness-based MacRae. It was completed in
under 11 months, some four weeks ahead of programme.
Based on the site of the former Co-operative store on Montagu Row,
Inverness, Key Housing Association has eight residential homes with
24-hour support for adults with learning difficulties. Part of the
development includes specially adapted accommodation for wheelchair
users.
A further eight homes, for Albyn Housing Association, includes one
unit which is adapted for residents' own specifications.
The properties combine residential care units with rented
accommodation and shared ownership. The project also involved Highland
Regional Council, Highland Health Board, and Scottish Homes.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
