West Dunbartonshire Council tenants in need of a new home feel the only way to be rehomed is to become homeless, a councillor has claimed.
The local authority’s new housing strategy confirms how the council is planning to address housing related issues and challenges over the next five year period until financial year 2026/27 while tackling the new problems that have arisen since the Covid-19 crisis.
But concerns have been raised by Labour councillor Michelle McGinty, that while helping homeless people find permanent accommodation is a key concern, other residents who also need a more suitable place to live are being put “at risk” by the council’s policy.
