Almost £4 billion will be invested in public housing in Glasgow during the next 30 years if tenants vote in favour of the controversial transfer of housing stock to Glasgow Housing Association, according to its own business plan.
The cash will ensure that every publicly owned house in the city will have central heating, double glazing, new windows and a raft of other improvements. Campaigners opposed to the housing stock transfer have argued that this investment could still take place under the management of Glasgow Council.
The proposed transfer of 81,000 homes is the biggest of its kind in the UK. Tenants will be called to vote on the proposed move in autumn on a date yet to be set.
