THE housing situation in Fife has officially tipped from a state of crisis into a state of emergency, councillors have agreed., LibDem and Tory elected members voted to declare a housing emergency in the area and order an emergency housing action plan to be drawn up by June.
Hamilton cited the increasing housing and homelessness pressures facing Fife. She said the situation is becoming “ever more serious.” Council leader David Ross agreed that now is the time to declare an emergency and bring attention to the pressures facing Fife’s housing service.“If we thought that declaring a housing emergency now would bring in substantial resources to make a difference, we would support that, but slogans don’t do that and delaying action until June is just that – another delay and there has been enough of them,” he said.
However, Labour councillor Mary Bain Lockhart said she refused to engage in “political tit-for-tattery” calling it a “waste of time.” She continued: “That calls for immediate action and it’s not helpful for us to be dividing along party lines of whose fault it is and where the blame lies. We need radical reform and we need to work together to agree on what comprises the elements of that reform.”As a result, the housing service will create an emergency housing action plan to the cabinet committee meeting in June.
