New Beginning

It's been almost two years since the first Oxgangs tower block was demolished and things have been very busy and stressful for local area in that period. However, the light at the end of the tunnel in now beginning to show, as Phase 1 is edging completion with the first section of houses now occupied. http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=314452007


Phase 2 (the site of what used to be Allermuir and Caerketton Court) has been given the go ahead. 85 homes, several shops, six community workspaces and a nursery will be built on the site. The shops, houses and lock-up garages near the new development will be demolished in around 2009 to make way for phase 3 in which a further 67 homes will be built.
