A Glasgow empty homes 'target squad' should be set up to get abandoned properties back into use according to a councillor.
The politician is due to put forward a motion at a full council meeting this week calling for the local authority to set up a "Glasgow Empty Homes Working Group."It is to be led by the council with representation from Wheatley Group and other housing associations, the Health and Social Care Partnership, charities and others and should come up with a draft action plan.
A recent meeting heard there are about 2480 empty homes in Glasgow and the owners are to be contacted by the council as part of a mission to bring them back into use.It pointed out the number of empty homes is likely to increase during the current cost of living crisis with renters and mortgaged home owners facing pressure and homelessness being a “continuing challenge.”
The motion said: "council is therefore disappointed to note that between 2017/18 and 2021/22, this council has only spent 52 per cent of the Energy Efficiency Scotland: Area Based Schemes funding available to it - meaning that £11.4 million has gone unspent in the city.”
They will give them to illegals they don't need to pay
