Proposals to build nearly one thousand new homes for Argyll and Bute over the next five years received total support at a council meeting today.

The agreement means 247 affordable homes could be built this year

Councillor Robin Currie, policy lead for the Economy and Rural Growth, said: “Investing in and delivering quality affordable housing is a key element in creating vibrant, prosperous and thriving local communities across Argyll and Bute.

“We are committed to working with our partners to further strengthen our affordable housing sector which, in turn, will boost the area’s attraction as a place to live and work, encourage further investment and strengthen our local economy.”
