Even just the trailer for #SmallCountry is powerful stuff.
Listening to the voices of ppl in our #rural communities is crucial to understand the challenges they face, the fierce intelligence & creativity they possess, & what we all stand to lose if we don't secure their future.
Congratulations to @ShonaRobison and @MairiGougeon on their #Housing and #Rural / Islands posts in the new Scottish Cabinet.
We look forward to working with you to improve housing provision across rural Scotland and build thriving, sustainable communities.

2/2 Other things to note from the @ScottishLabour manifesto:
- licensing and taxation of short-term lets;
- legislation to support crofters' access to housing;
- rough sleeping (we'd encourage wider focus to include #HiddenHomelessness more common in rural areas)
#Holyrood2021
The Rural #Manifesto from the @ScotTories supports the extension and improvement of the Rural Housing Fund and calls for #RuralHousing to be accompanied by key service provision. Also calls for compulsory sale of long-term unoccupied properties.
#sp2021#holyrood2021#housing
@scotlibdems also supporting our 2nd action to "extend and expand the Rural Housing Fund and the Islands Housing Fund, and reduce the barriers for communities to access them" #rural#housing#SP21
Pleased to see @scotlibdems manifesto pick up our call for a First Time Builders Fund to support self build and population growth in rural areas. This and nine other actions to tackle the rural housing crisis are set out in our own manifesto https://t.co/RRCLbPmkTo
2/2 Interested to learn more about how #IslandsBonds proposed by @theSNP would work as a positive means to stem depopulation. Though we'd encourage the policy to also consider working age folk who are no longer young or part of a family unit.

Just think what 350 FT residents could be doing for an island like Mull.
Filling schools; working & spending money locally; providing key services; volunteering in the *many* roles which help sustain island life. Living, working, playing, thriving and contributing.

Our website is back up and running so you can take a look at our rural housing #manifesto setting out the ten actions needed to enable affordable rural housing and help our rural communities to thrive.
