Investment and Regeneration

DGHP’s Investment programme is there for a number of reasons:

• To fulfil our promise to tenants when we transferred from the Council 2003 – new kitchens, bathrooms, doors etc. – this is now complete.
• To meet the Scottish Housing Quality Standards by April 2015 – this has been largely achieved but we need to keep the standards up
• To meet the Energy Efficiency  Standard for Social Housing (EESSH) by December 2020

We currently have on site:

• Energy Efficiency & Heating Replacement contract worth £12.5 million over 4 years – this started almost 3 years ago
• Adaptations & Legacy Kitchens & Bathrooms worth £5 million over 4 years – started nearly 3 years ago
• Window Replacement worth  £8.7 million over 2 years – just started in September 2018 and is to replace the windows in 2200 properties to receive new windows starting with old timber, metal, single glazed windows.  This means no more painting timber windows – all pvc (except conservation areas)
• Render & Roofing worth £8 million over 2 years – started in January 2019.Render or Insulated Render to 766 Properties including Roofing to 500+ of these
