Representation ID: 989

Received: 04/02/2019

Respondent: The Hon Susan Barnes

Representation Summary:

Affordable dwellings have been prioritised for residents from outside the local area through the developers links to other counties. There needs to be clearly documented evidence of who occupies these new affordable homes, and whether they work in the local area.
