Record View on never-ending council house waiting lists while homelessness climbs to record levels.
The shocking 11 per cent rise in private rents is a perfect example of how we’ve ended up in a housing emergency.
All this while soaring house prices means buying a property is simply not an option for hundreds of thousands of Scots. Housing and poverty campaigners are right to say that without urgent action, this problem will only get worse. Unfortunately, what we got from SNP and Green MSPs last month was a £196million cut to the affordable housing budget. With the state of the public finances, along with Holyrood’s limited tax-raising and borrowing powers, few politicians would envy Scottish ministers in their bid to balance the books.
Every Scot should have the right to a roof over their head. No one should be left sleeping rough in the cold. That’s why we need real action and real cash to build more homes and more social housing.Scottish politics Bully phone woe THERE’S no question that smartphones can be extremely damaging when left in the hands of youngsters with no guidance on their use.
