The SNP Government should be ashamed that over 22,000 applicants, including nearly 9,000 children, are currently on social housing waiting lists across the Borders.
These shocking statistics expose the SNP’s failure to build enough affordable homes for workers and families across the Borders.
The statistics, obtained through Freedom of Information requests, found that 22,352 applicants across the Scottish Borders are on social housing waiting lists, including 8,723 children.
It is an absolute disgrace that the SNP cut the national housing budget at a time when so many people are waiting for social housing.
The SNP must focus on crucial matters like this instead of getting distracted from the day job by their constant push for another divisive referendum.
