Industry body Homes for Scotland has applauded Glasgow City Council’s housing aspiration following publication of a new strategy which sees it aim to deliver 25,000 new homes over the next ten years.

Philip Hogg, Chief Executive of the organisation whose members together deliver 95% of new homes built for sale as well as a significant proportion of affordable housing (right), said:

“There is a chronic undersupply of housing right across Scotland which particularly affects our young people and growing families.  

“With our member companies looking forward to helping Glasgow achieve its ambitious goal of ensuring 25,000 homes by 2025, we applaud the vision that the council is demonstrating today and hope other Local Authorities follow its lead to ensure we have enough homes to meet the diverse housing needs of our growing population.”
