Lib Dems call for affordable housing
LIBERAL Democrats in Glasgow North are calling for government action to tackle the growing shortage of affordable homes. The call was made after Katy Gordon met leading affordable housing campaigner Julia Goldsworthy MP at the party’s recent Spring Conference in Liverpool.
“I know that many people in Glasgow North have difficulty finding an affordable home,” said Katy. “Many young people are stuck in the parental home unable to move out. Many young families cannot afford to move to the larger home they need.
“The plans agreed by the Liberal Democrats would help those on council and housing association waiting lists to get the home they need at the price they can afford.
Julia Goldsworthy MP said, “I was pleased to be able to discuss housing with Katy. Across the country, the Government has failed to ensure there is enough social and affordable housing available. The Liberal Democrats have now agreed plans that will ensure we have enough homes for all.”
