Rural affordable housing. Does it really matter?
Have a read of this guest blog for Action with Communities in Rural England (ACRE) from Margaret Clark, President of ACRE and Chair of the Rural Coalition, on the need for affordable housing in rural communities.
We really like that it mentions the right homes being built in the right places:
“At the moment, we have a housing crisis in the countryside. Too many homes of the wrong sort are being built. There is widespread concern that they are predominantly large estates of executive homes. There are simply not enough truly affordable homes – affordable to those on local wages and incomes – to go round.”
