Listen, hen - it’s your Gran here. Scotland’s housing is in a right state. Families are crammed into hotels, kids don’t have a bedroom of their own, and rents are going through the roof. And what have we had from politicians? Promises. But promises don’t keep the rain out. Homes do.
We know Scotland can do better. In the past, we rolled up our sleeves and built whole communities. Proper homes gave families strength, children stability, and Scotland pride. If we did it then, we can do it again.
We can’t do it alone. We Grans are speaking up because tough love is what’s needed. But now we need you. Tell Scotland’s Party Leaders that nothing matters more than safe, warm homes for every family. Together, we can make them act.
The number is simple: We must build at least 15,693 new social homes every year of the next parliament. Not words on a page, but spades in the ground and keys in people’s hands.[1]
Join your Grans. Add your name if you agree we need to build Scotland.
