I think most of us know it is not a sellers market at the moment and about a third of those from Tom's link are over £125,000.
There are very few 2+ bedroomed houses to rent it must be a nightmare for those with a family but without a healthy income.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

forget first time buyers, the latest report says that they will have to save up for 17 years to get a deposit as things stand.
the chap looking - majid, knows this and just wants a house with a garden for his kids, not interested in a flat as he feels that it would not feel long term.

I had no problem finding a 2 bed house when I was looking the trouble I had was finding a landlord prepared to take a dog. I used halems in castle street I found these really good and they give a personal touch by calling you if something suitable comes up.

just heard a very strong rumour that the secretary of state has decided not to have a public enquiry and that the development approved by ddc can go ahead.

Yes, Brian, it goes to show how much the authorities lied about localism and the promise of a referendum on important local issues.
And how much the authorities despise Democracy and are afraid to allow democratic votes, ramming through their own Government agenda.

traumatic indeed martin, but in fairness eric never needs the refuse people to collect his food waste bin.

It goes to show that being involved in public consultations, petitions, community involvement, will lead nowhere, and any proposal is written off.

don't see the problem about localism, it was our local district council that passed the plans not central government.

Localism was supposed to be about people having a say in decisions that regard their community, and a referendum on important decisions that effect their local community.
Not about local Government ramming through agendas imposed by Central Government.

alex
the public were given ample opportunity to comment on the original planning application and the subsequent one and believe you me their were comments for and against by the hundred. all these would have been taken into account by the officers and the councillors on the committee.
at the end of the day whatever decision had been reached would have produced howls of outrage from those who disagreed.
the only part that central government played was to go through the paperwork afterwards and decide if the rules had been adhered to.

I had an email and a text saying it wasn't to be called in; hopefully there will be a minimum of delay. Hope also, that other developers hear this and realise that we DO want things to happen here.
Not sure why Alexander says Demrocracy is dead, when it was the democratically elected Councillors who read, listened, inwardly digested and then voted for this development.
