Adapted home has made life a lot better for John

John O'Byrne was one of the first residents to take the keys for his new wheelchair-adapted home in the town’s East Lane.

The £9 million development is made up of one and two-bedroom homes.

The properties were built for Loretto Housing Association (LHA), on the site of a former car garage, by The JR Group.

And John is delighted with how much easier life is now he's settled into his new surroundings.

He told the Express: “I had been living with my mum in Mosspark in Glasgow but was struggling. I hurt my leg and couldn't get up or down the stairs.

“The bathroom was upstairs and it was getting to be a real issue.
