A separate consultation will take place with Bellsmyre tenants and owners on the effect of this change.<\/p>\n<p>The total cost of the regeneration project will be in the region of \u00a330m and will be funded through a combination of public and private funding raised by Caledonia Housing Association.<\/p>\n<p>Julie Cosgrove, Chief Executive of Caledonia Housing Association, said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe people of Bellsmyre who participated in this consultation have demonstrated their clear support for our plans which would transform the Bellsmyre neighbourhood and we are fully committed to turning these proposals into reality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are also committed to listening to local people and we will do that through the establishment of a residents\u2019 forum. I am hugely encouraged in the number of residents who have said they want to take part. This will inform the next stage of the regeneration process and ensure wherever possible that the regeneration that local people want is what they get.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The final regeneration proposals will be announced to the Bellsmyre community in June.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sprengthomson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Press-release-Bellsmyre-residents-back-regeneration-plan-09.05.19.pdf\">Download full press release here<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Bellsmyre Housing Association and Caledonia Housing Association public consultation on proposals for the \u00a330m regeneration of the Bellsmyre area of Dumbarton, revealed 97% of all respondents declared approval for the scheme. <!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":3547,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[145,146,108],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 -
