It comes after the housing and communities committee convenor wrote to the housing minister requesting the reinstatement of the funding cut to the affordable housing supply programme.
West Dunbartonshire has been continuing to deliver “much needed new homes” and during the 2025/26 period has overseen the completion of 76 new homes and includes work with the Willox Park and Gilmour Avenue projects.
On May 1, 2024 the Housing and Communities Committee agreed to declare a Housing Emergency in West Dunbartonshire due to extreme and unprecedented pressures facing housing and homelessness services.
This was despite positive achievements to help manage the housing need in West Dunbartonshire which included 262 households prevented from experiencing homelessness, progress in reducing the number of empty homes and the construction of new council homes at Clydebank East, Mount Pleasant, Pappert and Gilmour Avenue.
