1,343 new council homes

Council homes across Scotland

More than 1,343 new council homes will be built in Scotland this year backed by £26 million from the Scottish Government.

Seventeen councils across Scotland will share the money to create a new generation of council houses for rent as part of the largest council house building programme for 30 years and is expected to support 3,000 jobs.

(This will go a long way towards the 3,000,000 new homes actually needed in the UK right now! Gordon's target to fill this quota by 2020 is a long way off which creates a huge opportunity for the Private Rented Sector...if you can find the dosh to buy up all the empty houses scattered about!)
