Shelter - Make Housing Matter



I was pleased to join Marlyn Glen and Jim McGovern, Labour councillors in supporting Shelter Scotland's campaign to 'Make Housing Matter.' This campaign calls for the Scottish Government to ensure that housing is given prominence in the budget announced next week. It was good to see that the Convener of Housing, the SNP's Jimmy Black also supported this campaign.
I will be keeping a close eye on housing issues. The Scottish Government will make its budget announcement next week, whilst at Westminster the ConDem Government are making changes to housing and other benefits. The impact of all these changes needs to be examined in detail.
