Arran Housing Taskforce is looking for people to share their views as part of the effort to help shape housing provision on the island.

The survey which opened in January asks questions about current housing provision on the island as well as future aspirations.

It is hoped that home owners and tenants, landlords, second home owners and anyone living and working on the island – and even those considering moving to Arran – will take a few minutes to complete the survey.

Councillor Alan Hill, Cabinet Member for Communities and Islands and also chair of the housing taskforce, said it was important that as many people as possible complete the survey to ensure we have a true reflection of demand which will help determine what housing is required on the island in the years ahead.

He added: “The purpose of the survey is to give us a comprehensive and clear picture of the current and future housing needs.

“We want to know residents’ thoughts on affordable housing on the island, what their current housing situation is, and their housing aspirations.”

“To get the fullest possible picture, we hope to hear from everyone on the island whether they live in social housing or private rental, or are owners who live in the property or use it as a second home or for letting.”

It is hoped that the survey will give a better picture of what additional housing is required on the island and where it needs to be.
