THE first 50 tenants have moved into the new River Clyde Homes flats at Greenock s James Watt Dock. Over the last few weeks customers have been settling in to their new properties, constructed by Cruden Building. The development has taken two years to complete, including the period when works were halted because of the Covid-19 pandemic. When the development is fully finished, 137 homes over five blocks will offer spectacular views over the historic dock and the River Clyde. They are the association’s first properties on the town s historic waterfront that once defined the area. Couple John and Elizabeth Bryan, who married 57 years ago, say they are thrilled with their new home.
