Shelter Scotland campaigning in Dundee

At lunchtime today, I joined with Shelter Scotland and other Dundee politicians to support Shelter's campaign to ensure the Scottish budget reflects the importance of decent housing and makes building more homes for affordable rent a national priority in Scotland.

Earlier in the day, I met with the Director of Housing of the City Council, other senior housing staff and a representative from the City Development Department over the rent levels in Dundee's new build council houses.    I am anxious to see that rents are at affordable levels that are attractive to people of the council's waiting list.
