Search the Public Notice PortalAn update on the 42-home development on the site of the former Clydebank Health Centre has been given, as work is expected to begin this winter.
The derelict land which was cleared almost two years ago is awaiting the commencement of work which will turn it into a new housing site by 2028.
Initial work began on the site, on West Thomson Street, in September 2024, when the former medical building was flattened.
West Dunbartonshire Council, which bought the centre in June 2023 from NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, plan to turn it into family houses, cottage flats and 27 sheltered flats for older people.
At a recent meeting of the authority's housing and communities committee, an elected member asked for a progress update on the work.
There are proposals that the new development could replace the current sheltered housing facility on Young Street, however, these have not been confirmed.
Councillor William Rooney, asked: "It's great to read that spades will be in the ground by the end of the year, hopefully, for the old Clydebank Health Centre site.
"I noticed in the report you talk about feedback from Young Street residents. Can you give me an idea what the range of views were and is that aligning with what the council were aiming for or their plans?"

Residents in the current sheltered accommodation on Young Street were given the opportunity to visit one of West Dunbartonshire Council's similar projects which was completed in the beginning of the year.
Tenants moved into the new Willox Park site in February this year which comprises of 17 energy-efficient homes.
Officers say when six Young Street residents went to visit, there was no clear consensus of their view.
Peter Barry, chief officer for housing, said: "There's been four consultation events around Young Street, including an organised visit to Willox Park, and individual communication with residents.
"It would be fair to say there was a mix of views. Eight tenants had indicated they would be interested in moving to the new development, five indicated they wanted to remain at Young Street and there were eight who were undecided.
"The Willox Park [visit] was arranged for those tenants to see what the new build options look like and to hear from those who had been through the process. Six tenants attended the visit. We're not clear on how that's changed their views, but we'll keep you posted on that."
It is expected that work will begin on the West Thomson Street site this winter with completion estimated to be 56 weeks later.
