| Comment | I mean this in all seriousness and not flippantly - it's best to get on to your MSP about that.
The council's hands are completely tied on a whole range of areas, and this is one of them. A lot of the reason why nothing changes unfortunately is that councils are often good lightning rods for criticism, while the authorities that *do* have the power to influence and facilitate change are rarely brought into the mix.
There really ought to be a public campaign to address the issue of land banking in Scottish cities, and bring in necessary legislation to counter it if needed. That would likely need to happen at Holyrood though. |
