Applications are now being encouraged by tenants for a new scheme of 21 houses in the Stranorlar area.
Cathaoirleach of the Stranorlar Municipal District Cllr Patrick McGowan said Donegal County Council have started the process of selecting tenants from the many council housing applicants for Gleann Na Greine at Mullindrait in Stranorlar.
This impressive looking scheme of 21 houses was developed by Longmarsh Developments ltd Lismilladuff Killygordon and built by Mc Menamin building contractors Ltd Dreenan Ballybofey.
This turn Key housing Development will be handed over to the Stranorlar Municipal District housing section over the next few weeks as snagging is complete.
The housing office is now actively going through the list of potential housing applications to shortlist and make a final list of those who will be housed in this very well finished estate.
Cllr McGowan said “I commend the Council housing staff for acquiring this turnkey development at a time when so many families are in urgent need of rehousing.
“While this scheme will only address families in the area, it is very welcomed and we are calling on the Government to cut out the red tape and give the Council the funding and authority to build or buy small schemes like this one.
“I look forward to seeing these houses been occupied and what a wonderful Christmas this will be for so many families as they get to settle in a secure home.”
