Representation Summary:

You should not be supporting 'market housing' in most villages. This leads to higher income families mostly commuting into towns to work or even taking the car to the station and commuting to London or Birmingham. They shop at an out of town shopping centre and do not support village life.
They also force up the price of local housing and the young people cannot afford to stay in the village.
We must support affordable housing to get life back into the villages and support local shops, pubs and other services.
