Thousand of children on council housing waiing lists

 

"More than 54,000 children are `languishing` on council housing waiting lists due to a `disgraceful` lack of social homes across Scotland, the Scottish Liberal Democrats have said."

"Figures obtained through Freedom of Information by the party revealed that 138,164 people, 54,244 of which were children, were on council waiting lists at the start of October."

"The statistics revealed that many local authorities have people on waiting lists who have been there for up to 50 years."

"Fife has the highest number of teenagers and children waiting for social housing in the country although other high population areas like Glasgow and Edinburgh are not included because they do not hold the data."
