Dumfries and Galloway Local Housing Strategy
Dumfries and Galloway Council is preparing a new Local Housing Strategy that will set out how the council and its partners will deliver housing and housing services over the next five years. To build the new strategy, Dumfries and Galloway Council must set a new vision for homes and communities and agree priorities for action to tackle the main housing issues locally.
The new Local Housing Strategy will detail Dumfries and Galloway's plan for addressing the housing challenges facing local communities including:
- increasing the range of housing options to meet need
- developing successful places that are connected to transport, services and jobs
- improving housing choice and affordability
- supporting people with health conditions and disabilities to live independently and well
- improving the energy efficiency of homes and tackling climate change
- improving the quality and condition of existing homes
To ensure the Local Housing Strategy reflects the view of local residents, a survey has been launched asking local households to share their views on the housing issues that matters most in their community and how they feel resources, investment and services should be targeted to address these issues.
All Dumfries and Galloway residents are encouraged to participate in the survey, which should take no more than five minutes to complete. All survey responses will be for research purposes only and it will not be possible to identify individual households from the responses. You can access the survey below:
