Urban Realm reports:
The Scottish Building Federation, the construction industry trade body, is calling on all candidates in next month’s local elections to prioritise capital expenditure on new buildings.
The article states that to back up this call the SBF has published a report and quotes that:
“There is a wide variance in the performance of individual councils in delivering the right number of affordable homes to meet current and future demand and there is always scope for every local authority to do more...
How is the Highland Council doing?
Well, featured graphs appear to show that:
- Highland was in the 'top three' in terms of the 'number of public sector new homes completed in 2006/7 - 2010 /2011' More here
- Highland had only a -0.02% change in local construction employment 2007-2010* More here
* Figures for the majority of local authorities ranged from -0.02% to -46.5%. Only three local authorities had featured with positive numbers, East Dunbartonshire (3.1%), Sterling (8.0%) and Aberdeenshire (12.6%)
