Fife Council has regrettably terminated contracts with a major housebuilder to build 203 affordable homes at sites in Lochore, Lumphinnans, Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy.
Construction work on the sites operated by First Endeavour LLP halted in December 2023 and from today, Thursday 21 March, Fife Council has secured control of the sites.
Housing spokesperson, Cllr Judy Hamilton said: “This is a very unfortunate situation for all involved and not the outcome we would have hoped for. Contracts will be dealt with through the council’s procedure and, moving forward, we need to ensure that these much-needed new council houses can be built and allocated with the minimum of delays.”
The council will move on to the next stage of working with construction partners to complete the build of these new council houses.
The affected construction sites are:
- New Flockhouse, Lochore (51 properties)
- Lochgelly Road, Lumphinnans (97 properties)
- Fair Isle Road, Kirkcaldy (10 properties)
- former Bellyeoman depot, Dunfermline (45 properties)
