Highland MSP Rhoda Grant criticizes Scottish Government for inadequate rural housing policies, citing fewer affordable homes in Highlands and Islands.
Rhoda Grant, a Highland MSP, criticized the Scottish Government for inadequate rural housing policies, noting that the Highlands and Islands have significantly fewer affordable homes than urban areas. Since 2017, only 3,219 rural affordable homes were built in her region, compared to 8,989 nationwide. Grant argues that the current classification system misdirects funding, contributing to rural depopulation and impacting local services. She urges a reevaluation of these policies.
