A ROSS County fan is unlikely to miss any home matches after receiving the keys to his new home.
John Brown and his wife Elizabeth have just become tenants of Albyn Housing Society's latest brownfield development at Jubilee Park Court - a walk of less than a minute from the Dingwall club's ground!
The affordable homes development provides flats for 20 people at a time of rising demand in the county town and a decline in the amount of cash for social housing.
Calum Macaulay, chief executive of Albyn Housing Society said, “Dingwall is an area of high affordable housing demand and these small, well designed infill projects are essential while we wait for other larger development opportunities to come forward.”
He added, “With funding provision worryingly low, this much-needed affordable development on a brownfield site is a positive step in the right direction. We’ve employed the expertise and services of Inverness-based MAK Projects and Global Construction to provide a welcome boost to the local construction industry.”
John Brown, who has been living in Tore for the past four and a half years, said, “Elizabeth and I couldn’t be more delighted with our new home. The standard of workmanship is absolutely second to none and we look forward to many happy years here. What’s even better is that I’m a longstanding Ross County fan, so I’ll never a miss a game again.
His wife said, “We are very pleased with our new home. We can’t wait to have our grandchildren over and now with all this space they will be able to come and visit us all the time.”
The project was also supported by a £403,300 Housing Association Grant provided by the Scottish Government.
