Work begins on new Netherton houses

Construction has started on 15 new council houses at Netherton Road, in Stromness.

The work, being carried out by Orkney Builders, is the latest stage in Orkney Islands Council’s plans to provide 140 new council houses, across Orkney, over the next three years.

The development of two- and three-bedroomed houses is expected to be completed by August next year.
