Social Housing Builds in Inverclyde

Stuart McMillan MSP, (SNP) has welcomed the publication of figures that show social housing building is on the increase in Inverclyde.

The statistics show that 507 social sector houses were started in the area in 2009. Further to this 390 social sector houses were completed in the same period - a massive increase on previous years.

Mr. McMillan said;

"Once again we are seeing positive news for Inverclyde on the social housing front. I am delighted we have seen continuous increases in new builds as well as a large number of homes completed.

"Housing is an issue that comes through my mailbag time and time again so I hope this upward trend is one that will continue and create further housing in Inverclyde.

"This Scottish Government has supported housing regeneration as well as new housing throughout its term in office and these statistics highlight further positive action for people in Inverclyde".
