As you can see from Shelter Scotland’s report below, it would take more than 7 years to clear the current waiting list for social housing in Aberdeenshire. On Thursday make sure you elect a local councillor who will fight the Scottish Government cuts in the housing budget. The SNP have reneged on their 2011 manifesto which promised 6000 social homes to rent each year for the next four years. We all know the conservatives want to bring back right-to-buy which took almost 3000 homes out of Aberdeenshire stock between 2000-2011 alone.
