New homes open doors

THE biggest housebuilding project by East Lothian Council in nearly 40 years has been officially unveiled – four months ahead of schedule.

One hundred properties have been created at Steading View, Tranent, including 16 two- bedroom flats, 17 two-bedroom houses – including two wheelchair-accessible bungalows – and 67 three-bedroom houses.

The work was carried out by contractor Mansell Partnership Homes at a cost of £12.2 million.
