LETTER: More houses, but less are affordable

I was somewhat bemused to read the article by Ray Dawe in last week’s County Times (June 12)’We need more ‘affordable’ housing for younger people’.

Whilst I commend Mr Dawe on his aims to increase the amount of social housing, unfortunately HDC’s record is not that good.

Did we not have a promise from the Council that 40 per cent of houses were to be affordable when the plans for the latest Broadbridge Heath metropolis were being sold to the public?
