Preferred Options

Representation ID: 46605

Received: 19/07/2012

Respondent: Mrs Victoria Wall

Representation Summary:

So the preferred option is the one that had least support from existing residents! I don't think many people when asked would say they wouldn't like to spend less when buying a house - so no surprise there - but I don't think building a load of houses is the answer. Unless you make the area so horrible that all the existing house prices will fall and the people who suffer are the people who at the moment enjoy living in a nice area. Is that the aim of the preferred option???
