MOST renters in Scotland think their local authority should be doing more to tackle the issue of empty homes, a new survey has found.

The research, commissioned by the Scottish Empty Homes Partnership (SEHP) and published today, found that just 10 per cent of adults in Scotland believe their council is doing enough on the issue.

And 52 per cent of respondents who currently rent their own home saying their local authority should be doing more to bring Scotland’s 46,000 empty homes back into use.
