Concerns have been raised over a crisis in West Lothian's housing department after a report revealed half of its current performance targets have been have been missed in the last three months.
The opposition SNP branded the Labour-led administration “unfit to run the service” and said the failed targets were bringing "misery and despair".
In the last three months of 2022 the council failed to meet its targets on the percentage of homeless applications processed within 28 days - 37% when the target is 80% - as well as the length of time it takes to re-let properties and the number of new build properties completed.
