Photos below show a new development nearing completion by Pentland Housing Association at Manson’s Lane, Thurso which is a welcome addition to housing in the area. As well as providing much-needed affordable housing the scheme has also improved the appearance of a site that had long been derelict and has greatly enhanced the environment for all members of the community. This project was enabled through funding from Communities Scotland under a Design and Build contract with local builders.
This development is conveniently located next to the Co-op in the centre of Thurso and provides 22 two bedroom flats and 2 flats with three bedrooms. 16 of the flats will be available for affordable rent and the remaining 8 will be for sale through Homestake (the shared equity scheme), which aims to get those on a low income onto the property ladder.
