An MSP has called for Fife to be made the first test case for more homes in Scotland.
Annabelle Ewing, MSP for Cowdenbeath, has urged the Scottish Government to prioritise Fife as a 'test case' for both funding and the location of social housing through the new housing body, More Homes Scotland.
The MSP raised the proposal during parliamentary portfolio questions and believes the move would help address what she describes as a chronic shortage of decent homes for people to live in in the Kingdom.
Ms Ewing said: "It was good to hear from Mairi McAllan about the progress that has been made, so far, in taking forward the work of More Homes Scotland, and to simplify, scale up, and speed up the delivery of homes across Scotland.
"I took the opportunity to suggest to the Cabinet Secretary that Fife be considered as the first test case for the new body – both in terms of funding and in terms of the location of social housing – in order to tackle the chronic shortage of decent homes for people to live in in the Kingdom."
