Kilsyth Housing Action Area

The Kilsyth town centre - with many delightful Victorian and Edwardian houses and shops  - was designated a Housing Action Area in 1998 and comprised 54 residential and 60 commercial properties which were built around the turn of the century and suffered problems such as dampness and dry rot.

A multi-agency strategy has been adopted to carry improvement work, and West of Scotland Housing Association is the managing agent for the project. To date 34 residential properties and 34 commercial premises have been upgraded within phases 1 and 2 of the regeneration programme; 17 of the residential properties are rented accommodation with 17 privately owned. A range of environmental improvements have also been completed to supplement the town centre regeneration.

The third phase of improvements commenced in October 1998.  The improvement works included 13 residential upgrades and 10 new build properties for shared ownership. There has also been extensive improvement of commercial premises.

There is a tourism strategy for the area with the aim of attracting more visitors to Kilsyth, boost the local economy and improve the commercial viability of the town centre.
