Proposals have been unveiled for the regeneration of Dumbarton through the construction of 180 affordable, two-storey homes to replace 225 traditional flats.The plans, by Caledonia Housing Association subsidiary organisation Bellsmyre Housing Association, will see the demolition of some of the older, less popular three-storey tenements in the Bellsmyre neighbourhood in Dumbarton and the construction of family friendly, principally front/back door houses, each with their own garden.The total cost of the regeneration project will be in the region of £30 million and will be funded through a combination of public and private funding raised by Caledonia.A consultation process was launched this week and the proposals will be displayed in Bellsmyre’s office reception area at Merkins Avenue until March 22.Residents can also give their views via the following survey.
