'We have to book our own breaks so popular it is just down the river with a view of the abbey.'
Now it would seem I am one of the bad guys. More than twenty years ago we bought an apartment off plan as part of my pension which being self employed I didn’t have. As my husband would say, if we don’t you will spend it and we will have nothing left for our old age. And he was right. It took two years to build and is now let at least forty weeks of the year. We have to book our own breaks so popular it is just down the river with a view of the abbey.
But here is the rub, having spoken to many locals this week. I totally accept that the rental and purchase prices of the vast majority of the properties anywhere near the town are out of reach of first time buyers. But isn’t that the case in many of our more towns and cities? It is according to a Sky TV survey this week which suggests it’s a nationwide problem and a serious one.
Why couldn’t they have been turned into affordable housing for local people and why can’t every new development not take place until at least some cheaper accommodation is built for the townsfolk with a covenant that they always remain as residential.
Tis at the moment. Full of chavs.
