Edinburgh Northern and Leith MSP Ben Macpherson is holding a special surgery on housing to give constituents the opportunity to access expert advice from Shelter Scotland representatives.
At the Housing Advice Surgery, Ben and his team, who regularly support constituents with housing-related issues, will be joined by a trained adviser from the Shelter Scotland Edinburgh Hub.
Shelter Scotland regularly provides advice on issues including homelessness, private renting, eviction, repairs, tenancy deposits and housing benefit.
The surgery will take place in north Edinburgh at Royston Wardieburn Community Centre (11 Pilton Drive North), on Friday (9th November) from 2 – 3.30pm. Ben’s regular 4pm surgery will go on as usual after this.
Ben Macpherson MSP said: “Housing is a hugely important issue in Edinburgh Northern and Leith and one I have always prioritised as an MSP.
“It is vital that policy makers, service providers and third sector organisations come together to overcome the challenges that there are around housing. That is why I’m glad to be holding this joint advice surgery with Shelter, to help constituents with housing issues and raise awareness of the specialist support that Shelter can offer.”
“The SNP Scottish Government is committed to addressing issues around housing, which is why we have strengthened tenant rights and have delivered more than 78,000 affordable homes since 2007. We will also deliver 50,000 affordable homes over the course of the coming years.”
