Dear Sir or Madam,
Could you please tell the number of affordable houses which will be
available as a result of the Glasgow Commonwealth games athletes
village.

Will any of the houses be sold off to private owners.

Are the affordable houses going to be allocated to the most needy
under a points system by the council or are they just going to be
available to rent to any member of the public.

Thank you for your time

Yours faithfully,

needs.
