Time to tackle second homes

Willie Hume SNP Councillor Oban South & Isles.

Your article on housing in today’s edition is not a new found problem. It’s long been a problem in the West of Scotland for good reasonable priced houses to rent and buy.

I feel it’s now time to tackle second homes and houses for holiday makers.

Second homes should bear a quadruple council tax and in the main only properties should be built for owner occupation and social properties to rent.
