ACHA to invest £700,000 in energy efficiency measures on Mull

Argyll Community Housing Association has just awarded a contract for £700,000 of works to A C Whyte who are specialists in roof and roughcast renewal to modernise 25 of its properties on the island of Mull.

The improvements will improve the energy efficiency of the homes involved. The works are due to start in February and will be completed by May. The properties involved are located in Bunessan, Craignure, Aros, Tobermory and Dervaig.

Alastair MacGregor, ACHA’s Chief Executive, commented

“I am delighted that we are able to get this contract on site and look forward to visiting our tenants once the works are completed to view the buildings for myself.

He further added

“Our roof and roughcast programme over the last 4 years has provided tangible benefits to our tenants’ homes but also has markedly reduced fuel costs.

Councillor Roddy McCuish, whose constituency takes in Mull, commented

“This contract shows the commitment of ACHA to housing right across Oban, Lorn and the Isles. I am delighted to hear this contract has been awarded and work will be progressing soon. I am sure ACHA’s tenants will feel the benefit of this upgrade which shows the commitment of the Association to continuous improvement of its homes as well as building new stock throughout Argyll and Bute"
