Midlothian council has approved its Local Housing Strategy for 2026/27–2030/31. This is a five‑year plan to improve housing quality, increase access to affordable homes and support sustainable, well‑designed communities.

The Strategy has been developed with extensive community input and sets out key priorities including tackling homelessness, supporting independent living, improving energy efficiency and reducing fuel poverty.
