Housing remains one of the most significant issues facing Argyll and Bute, affecting communities, businesses and economic growth. The Local Housing Strategy will provide a clear vision for future housing and housing services, helping to ensure that everyone has access to a home that meets their needs.
It will also outline how partners will continue to respond to the housing emergency while supporting the area's long-term growth and development. Key priorities include:
- increasing housing supply
- improving the quality and condition of existing homes
- tackling homelessness and housing affordability pressures
- improving housing choice and affordability
- supporting people with health conditions and disabilities to live independently and well at home
- improving the energy efficiency of homes and tackling climate change
- developing successful places where homes are connected to transport, services and jobs.
We want to make sure that the views of residents and communities are at the heart of developing the new Local Housing Strategy. To help shape the strategy, the Council has launched a short public survey and is keen to hear from residents of all ages, from all communities and living in all types of housing.
The survey should take no more than 5 minutes to complete. Survey responses will be for research purposes only and it will not be possible to identify individual households from the results.
