Eighteen flats will be delivered on behalf of Clydebank Housing Association, providing high-quality, affordable housing in the area.

If council bosses approve plans, building work is set to start in the coming months.

Project directorAndrew Dallas said:“We’re delighted to be working with Clydebank Housing Association as part of this project. This is the second time we have worked with the organisation, following a successful refurbishment of the CHA’s head office in Kilbowie Road last year.

“We will now work with West Dunbartonshire Council in efforts to take these plans forward and are confident, if plans were to be approved, that this social housing development will be a welcome boost to this already popular area.”
