Scottish Labour Deputy Leader visits Dumbarton housing development

Jackie Baillie MSP, Deputy Leader of the Scottish Labour Party, has visited Persimmon Homes’ The Hawthorns development in Dumbarton to see first-hand the company’s work in delivering new energy-efficient homes for the local community.

 

During the visit, Dame Jackie officially opened the development’s show home by cutting a ceremonial ribbon, marking a key milestone for the project. She also took the opportunity to discuss the ongoing housing emergency across Scotland, exploring how homebuilders, councils, and government can work together to deliver more quality, affordable homes for local people.

 

Located on the site of the former high school and overlooking Cunninghame Graham Memorial Park, The Hawthorns will deliver 68 much-needed, energy-efficient homes for the community. With homes ranging from two to five-bedrooms, the development is catering to a variety of local needs. As part of the development, Persimmon will also make a significant investment in local facilities, including improvements to the park.
