Outstanding Team
Leader of ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥, Robin Currie, said: “Tackling empty homes is a priority for ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥. We have to make the most effective use of the area’s existing housing stock. Not only does this help us to address local housing demand, it also helps to regenerate and support sustainable communities.
“Our housing teams do an outstanding job bringing empty homes back into use across ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ and Bute, so it’s wonderful to see not just one, but five of their nominations being recognised and making it through to the final of these prestigious awards. I wish the team every luck.â€
