Is housing a problem for workers in the South of Scotland?   *Call for evidence from workers*   Access to suitable housing is an important consideration when applying for a new job or thinking about whether you want to – or can – stay in your current post. Some employers in Dumfries & Galloway and Scottish Borders have indicated that a lack of the right housing in the right place is causing problems when it comes to recruiting and retaining staff.
