Labour ‘out of touch’ over housing need – Lib Dem plans to invest £12m shot down in flames

by Paul Saunders on 11 June, 2015

????????????????????????????????????

Lib Dem plans would have seen over 100 new affordable homes built for local families

The Labour-run City Council has been accused of being ‘out of touch’ after choosing to invest in commercial property rather than much needed affordable housing. The Lib Dems have proposed to invest £12 million to build over 100 new homes on existing council land.

This would have given local families and young professionals an affordable place to call home – but Labour councillors voted down the plans.

Romsey campaigner Nichola Martin said: “Cambridge is in dire need of new affordable homes. Labour’s decision to invest in commercial property over local homes is unforgivable. It’s clear that Labour are out of touch with the concerns of ordinary local people.”
