Lib Dems challenge affordable homes claim | News | Ocean Media: "Housing spokesman Peter Black has calculated only 2,335 affordable homes have been added towards the target so far because 1,900 properties have been sold or demolished."
I wonder how many of these 'affordable homes' are self-build without one penny of public funding being used to compensate 'locals' for being penalised because they are.. er... locals?
In some parts of Wales the list the WAG has does include 'local occupancy' only S106 which are not 'Affordfable' homes.
The target of 6,500 homes will not be met because of the planning system, in any event the target amount is a drop in the ocean compared with the real need, take the Ardudwy coast for example, here there is a need for well over 200 affordable homes yet only ten have been built during the last five years.
It is time to drag the politicians, screaming and kicking, into the real world.
