A HOUSING crisis is taking hold in Inverclyde as families are forced to live in overcrowded social housing. Greenock councillor Colin Jackson says he has been flooded with calls from residents living in unbearable cramped conditions. The councillor, who represents the poorest ward in the country, says there needs to be major investment in social housing and a commitment to build more three and four bedroom properties. Mr Jackson said: In the last few months I have been contacted by a number of local families who are living in unbearable overcrowded social housing accommodation. Acting on their behalf I have contacted every social landlord in Inverclyde to try and help these families secure proper accommodation.
Call for more affordable housing is rural parts of Perth and Kinross
The renewed calls came at a recent planning meeting when a 55-home development in Alyth was approved without affordable housing because it was in a rural location
