Dingwall demolition at Meiklefield well under way as Highland Council flags upcoming information day for Ross-shire public on housing redevelopment

PEOPLE in Ross-shire's county town are being invited to find out more about a major housing revamp now under way.

Demolition is nearly complete for Phase 1 of the redevelopment of Meiklefield Road in Dingwall.

The first phase is focussing on numbers 1 to 23 (odd numbers) in the neighbourhood.

It's another step forward for the project team tasked with creating modern, accessible, energy efficient and affordable housing in place of council houses deemed past their sell-by date.

Highland Council is now inviting the public to an open information event regarding the Meiklefield redevelopment.

The event has been organised by the local housing team and will be attended by tenant participation staff and the designer, HRI Architects, who will be available on the day to speak face to face with the public.

The event will be held on Friday, September 10 from noon until 4pm at the grassed area at the end of Grant Street and the beginning of Meiklefield Road.

Information will be available on the project and the opportunity to ask questions of the design team.

For further information contact the dedicated officer Faye Dyer either by phone 01349 886602 or by emailing meiklefield.matters@highland.gov.uk
