Housing issues - Campbeltown

[ChrisA]

I read in an earlier thread about rumours of 140 new houses being built over Park Square. Who will be expected to use these houses? An influx of new people to the town? or, are there park benches full of people awaiting thse new gaffs?

Just curious really ...

Mostly the knock on effect from the right to buy scheme for council tenants which leaves a shortage in the local housing stock. Something which affects a lot of other parts of the country.

The new houses will not be available for purchase, as they are part of a new not for profit housing authority, the local council will almost certainly transfer their remaining stock over to them.

The last few years has seen a demand for housing and a quick rise in prices. Previously properties which may have taken months to sell are being sold in weeks if not less.

Also think we have a shortage in park benches
