Campaigners in Greenock had ramped up pressure on Veterans Housing ScotlandA veterans housing charity has confirmed it will not sell off any more properties in a west of Scotland town after mounting pressure from campaigners. Veterans Housing Scotland came under fire after selling off two properties earlier this year in Stafford Crescent, citing the potential costs after they had fallen into disrepair. The Greenock Telegraph reports that veterans had been living in fear that their homes may be sold off, but a local veteran and campaigner intervened to stop any further sales. Alex McAnespie, who founded Homeless Veterans Project, told the newspaper: “There are 2,500 veterans in Inverclyde so under no circumstances should we be selling off houses for veterans. In a letter to West of Scotland MSP Neil Bibby, chief executive of Veterans Housing Scotland Kevin Gray said that there were no plans to sell off any more homes.
