Scottish government targets on affordable housing ‘in tatters’ says Labour
THE Scottish government’s targets on affordable housebuilding are in “tatters,” Labour said today in calls for urgent action.
Ministers have pledged to build 110,000 affordable homes by 2032, however Labour has warned the fall in approvals for new housebuilding shows ministers are in “denial” over the targets.
The government’s housebuilding statistics for 2023 showed there were 6,239 approvals last year, with the figure falling each year from 2018, and the lowest since 2012.
