[Kintyre Forum News]

Coming together nicely. Any plans for the ground opposite the new houses/flats?

I think that theese Houses are actually Re-build and NOT New-build, as far as i'm aware, ACHA have not built a single new house in any part of Campbeltown

they look quite new to me!

[charlie33]

These ARE new builds, and actually acha have built loads of new houses in campbeltown, before this they just built 52 NEW houses at new parliament place.

[Dr Doob]

Not exactly correct, theese houses were built to replace the houses knocked down. It might be a new "Development" but they were built to replace the houses, therefore they are Re-build not New-build, and ACHA have not built any NEW Houses just replaced some of the homes removed, as there are actualy less Houses now than before the Project took place.

Splitting hairs?

[Dr Doob]

No. Somantic and anti-spin, a lot of people have misconceptions about the re-development, just trying to present the facts of the matter.

Splitting hairs.

Definitely New build, Re-build implies taking the original structure or foundation and RE building.
Agreed it may be replacing units either there or elsewhere so doesn't necessarily change the number of units but the terminology is clear. Nice to see some new build - breathes some life back into the area, just patching up grot doesn't make much of a difference and the tenants don't respect old property skimmed to make look good. Let's hope the standard of the whole area lifts with this sort of development.

Having said that, they've made a first class job of doing up the old property on the development's Longrow frontage.
