Regeneration and renewal plans

Thrushcraigs is one of the eight areas covered by our Housing-led Renewal and Regeneration Programme. You can see a map showing which addresses are covered by the programme here:

Map of the plans for the Thrushcraigs area [625KB]

The boundary approved for the Thrushcraigs regeneration area has a total of 96 properties, 90 of which are council-owned and six are privately-owned.

The Thrushcraigs area will be transformed, with new-build council housing on the cleared site of homes due to be demolished, at:

• 12-34 and 51-53 Thrushcraig Crescent
• 101-103 Rowan Street

Council tenants who are being rehoused will have the right to be considered for the new-build homes.

Next steps and timeline

The estimated programme of works is as follows:

• Early 2024- demolition starts. We think it will take around 15 months to complete this;
• Summer 2026 - construction starts on the new-build council homes. This should take around a year;

Please note, as this is a long-term project, the timelines could be liable to change.

Throughout this time, we will be working with council tenants in blocks proposed for demolition to help them find another home elsewhere, and with the owners of those properties to help bring them into council ownership.We will also be working with all residents over the years ahead on a neighbourhood plan for the area, to capture your views on the issues affecting the wider area, what you would like to see changed or improved, and how we and our partners can work together to deliver on that.
