Foreword
The Housing (Scotland) 2001 Act requires local authorities to undertake a comprehensive assessment of housing needs and conditions, and to produce strategies to tackle the housing problems in their areas. This is the North Lanarkshire Housing Strategy. The purpose of the Strategy is to:
-
Show the links between national housing priorities and local requirements.
-
Identify the broad picture of investment needs for existing and new housing.
-
Set out our intentions to work towards meeting the proposed Scottish Housing Quality Standard.
-
Show how the housing circumstances for households in all tenures will be improved.
The Strategy sets out what North Lanarkshire Council is planning to do, in co-operation with our partners, to address the above issues over the five-year period 2004-2009. Efforts were made in the preparation of the Strategy to take account of the views of all stakeholders and we would welcome any further comments that you may have. We look forward to working in partnership with you, in the future, in our joint attempts to implement the Local Housing Strategy.
Councillor Gerard McLaughlin
Convenor of Housing and Technical Services,
North Lanarkshire Council.
