Last week’s decision by the Comhairle to back SNP Cllrs Donald Manford and Calum Macmillan in their amendment by nine votes to eight meant that the practice of forcing sale of croft houses and crofts for care would be suspended with a view to having a full-scale review of the policy.
Group leader, Cllr Gordon Murray asks “In order to gauge the extent of the issue, the Comhairle nan Eilean Siar SNP Group invite copies of correspondence received with regards to using croft houses and crofts to pay for care charges.Please send in to SNP Group c/o Council Offices, Sandwick Road or to your local SNP Councillor.”
