CCG hands over 45 council homes in Bonhill and Clydebank for West Dunbartonshire

CCG (Scotland) has completed 45 council homes across three sites in Bonhill and Clydebank for West Dunbartonshire Council, with tenants now moving in and the partnership between the two reaching 468 homes.

The contractor said the Braehead and Campbell Street sites in Bonhill, both previously unused land, together provide 28 homes built to what it describes as "net zero ready" standards. They range from one-bedroom homes to seven-bedroom family houses and include wheelchair-accessible properties.

A further 17 homes have been handed over at Queen Mary Avenue in Clydebank, from one-bedroom cottage flats to four-bedroom semi-detached houses, CCG said.

Councillor Gurpreet Singh Johal, Convenor of Housing at West Dunbartonshire Council, said: "The real success of our house-building programme is the difference it makes to tenants' lives."

The sites

The council's new council homes page lists all three schemes among its completed projects for 2025/26.

Site	Homes
Braehead, Bonhill	17
Campbell Street, Bonhill	11
Queen Mary Avenue, Clydebank	17

Council tenant liaison minutes from October 2025 record that the two Bonhill gap sites had been on site since August, and that the Queen Mary Avenue site had just started and would include 17 units.

Both Bonhill projects were directly awarded to CCG through the SPA H2 Framework, according to the contractor's earlier announcement on the schemes. That announcement said the homes would use zero-emissions heating and solar PV panels.

CCG led construction on each development, working with Ora Architects, engineers Cowal Design and Bayne Stevenson Associates, and energy and sustainability consultancy Carbon Futures.

Among the first residents at Campbell Street are Harry Weatherall and his wife Isa, who CCG said moved from Clyde Court in Dumbarton earlier this month. The level-access flat allows Mr Weatherall to use his wheelchair, the contractor said.

Councillor Hazel Sorrell, Vice Convener of Housing, said: "These developments are creating modern, energy-efficient homes while making best use of underused land, helping to strengthen existing communities and provide housing for local people for generations to come."

The partnership

CCG said the completions take its housebuilding partnership with West Dunbartonshire Council to 11 developments, 468 homes and more than £110m of investment, with further projects in the pipeline.

In its earlier announcement on the Bonhill sites, CCG put the relationship at 10 developments, 451 homes and over £100m since 2018.

An earlier scheme in the programme, Clydebank East, delivered 88 homes for social rent. Construction started in January 2023 and the first tenants were welcomed in autumn 2024, CCG said. That project was funded by a £12.6m Scottish Government grant and the council.

CCG said each scheme has been delivered with the contractor working alongside the council and design teams from the earliest stages to align ambitions with budgets, technical requirements and programmes, which it said has streamlined pre-construction and supported faster mobilisation and cost certainty.

Over the near decade-long partnership, the contractor said 24 jobs and apprenticeships have been created, along with 49 work placements and more than 60 curriculum support activities with local schools, colleges, charities and employment providers.
