An affordable housing development has been completed in Scotland, it has been revealed.

Worth £5.7 million, the North Glasgow Housing Association project has seen a total of 275 homes be built across five sites in the city since 2003.

The project was finally completed as some 40 families moved into the most recent set of homes - which incorporate a number of three and four-bedroom properties for people with special needs - in Blackthorn Street, Hawthorn Street and Hickory Street.

Such news might be of interest to those looking for jobs in housing.

Chairperson Pat Kenna said: "Good quality housing can make a real difference to the lives of tenants and in the last five years more than 250 families will have felt the benefits of new homes provided by the association."

Earlier this month it was revealed that pPod - a consortium of Browne Smith Baker architects and the housing associations Gentoo Homes and Morris Homes - is to build an eco-friendly housing development in Peterborough, in which more than a third of homes will be made affordable for people on lower incomes.
