It’s got less attention because of the income tax changes but there were some serious steps taken on housing in today’s Scottish budget.

The overall housing budget was cut by nearly 30%.

The budget for new homes is now half of what it was in 2022-23. Nearly £200m taken out for this year coming, a similar amount already taken out this year

The budget for fuel poverty and housing quality is going to be cut to 8% (eight) of what it was last year.

If it wasn’t working before it’s not going to be working any better now.
