Scottish Government Housing Minister Kevin Stewart is to visit the Highlands for a summit looking at the region’s housing shortage. Last week, Kate Forbes, the MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch, raised the shortage of affordable homes across the region in the Scottish Parliament during General Questions.
ATher responding to her concerns in the chamber, Mr Stewart agreed to come to her constituency to discuss the matter in more detail. ‘I know the minister recognises the need for affordable housing’, said Ms Forbes.
‘He has been hugely supportive of efforts in the Highlands to increase the number of affordable homes. I look forward to welcoming him to the Highlands to discuss affordable housing.
