The Council's Policy & Resources Committee is being asked to approve the Inverclyde Strategic Housing Investment Plan for 2012-2015 on Tuesday.
I am pleased to see that the plan makes the Clune Park area of Port Glasgow Inverclyde's number one housing priority. The plan also gives a high priority to Phase 2 of the redevelopment of the Woodhall Estate - which will be good news to residents waiting on a new house - and other housing developments in Port Glasgow which could provide new housing for residents from Clune Park, which the Council plans to demolish.
How much of the plan can be delivered over the next 3 years will be dependent on the amount of housing grant awarded to Inverclyde by the Scottish Government. This is not known at present but we are told that an announcement will be made in mid April.
Hopefully the Government will allocate this funding on the basis of need and not, like other recent funding announcements, on the basis of the greatest political advantage to the SNP two weeks before the Council elections!
I won't hold my breath however.
