"There will be no RAAC pot of money from the Scottish Government" The Cabinet Secretary for Housing set out @scotsgov ‘s position on financial support for buildings with RAAC.
Members pushed the Cabinet Secretary on @scotgov's affordable homes target and whether the promised 110,000 homes will be built by 2032 as planned. Màiri McAllan said the target would not be reviewed and she's worked hard to secure significant financial backing for housing.
The Heat in Buildings Bill will be one of the "biggest and most important pieces of legislation in devolution" Cab Sec Màiri McAllan told the Committee that the Bill would still be laid before Parliament.
We’ll hear from Housing Cab Sec Màiri McAllan MSP on her key priorities for the first time since she took up the post. Watch live this morning from 9:30am scottishparliament.tv
The First Minister told MSPs he expects multi-year funding to be awarded to Scotland’s Councils in the next Budget. Convener @ArianeBurgessHI questioned John Swinney on local government funding at a Q&A for Committee leaders.
EPC reform is welcomed but will be more challenging for rural buildings. Bryan Leask of Rural and Islands Housing Association Forum told the Committee differences in property type and costs were barriers.
The Scottish Association of Landlords described timescales of proposed regulations on EPCs as “too ambitious”. Its Chief Executive John Blackwood was part of a panel giving evidence on expected reform of Energy Performance Certificates 📺⬇️
Reform of Energy Performance Certificates was essential – but people can’t be “plunged into fuel poverty” due to any changes, the Committee heard this week. Andy Parkin, of @ElmhurstEnergy, was giving evidence as MSPs scrutinise expected changes to the EPC rating system.
We turn our focus to Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) at tomorrow's meeting with 2 panels of experts. New regulations on EPCs are anticipated before the end of the year. Full agenda and more info:ow.ly/hB9T50X3FQ4
“AI is no substitute for an experienced backroom member of staff” As part of its pre-budget scrutiny, the Committee heard concerns from @unisonscot about an overreliance on AI in councils – not only on the quality of services but its impact on efforts to tackle climate change.
“The general dissatisfaction with council services is actually really dangerous” This week the Committee heard about declining trust between the public and local councils as it took evidence from @unisonscot as part of its pre-budget scrutiny. 📺Regional Organiser, John Mooney
The Committee took evidence from @unisonscot on workforce issues in local councils as part of its pre-budget scrutiny this week. Maureen Dickson told MSPs that high sickness rates in the local government workforce were no surprise…
Our scrutiny of the proposed Good Food Nation Plan focused on the impact on local government —like how councils buy local food for school meals, for example. We've made key recommendations to @scotgov in our new report ➡️ow.ly/oxLO50X1v4i
𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭: We’ve published recommendations on the proposed National Good Food Nation Plan. It’s a long-term strategy aiming to give easy access to healthy, sustainable food for all. But what could it mean for local government? Full report here➡️ow.ly/4k8c50X1ubv
Local government is no longer an attractive place to work, MSPs heard this morning. @unisonscot were giving evidence as the Committee explores the issues facing councils as part of its scrutiny ahead of the Scottish Budget. John Mooney, UNISON Regional Organiser ⬇️

Ahead of Parliament's consideration at Stage 3 of the Housing (Scotland) Bill on 23 and 24 September, our latest blog sets out what the Bill seeks to achieve and looks at the detail of Parliament's consideration of the Bill at Stage 2. Check it out 👇ow.ly/OKTi50WXXIY
We heard examples of what ‘transformation’ looked like in practice in Scotland’s local authorities. @AccCommScot Deputy Chair, Andrew Burns, told the Committee there wasn’t a "one size fits all" solution, but Councils had to take action to meet financial challenges⬇️
