Calling for more housing options for our young
Young buyers being priced out the rental market in South Woodham
6 October 2024
So you're a parent hoping that their adult children can start their new life in South Woodham Ferrers. There is not a single 1 bedroom or less accommodation in our whole town at the moment but there is one 2 bed flat to rent if they have a child perhaps at £1200pcm which given the average rule of thumb is about a third on housing cost would mean someone would have to be on an individual or joint salary of £60,000 to afford to live in our town at the moment. Our conclusion is we need more homes.
The South Woodham Ferrers Residents Party is for new homes for our children and grandchildren and we hope that the politicians in power get on with building them but listen to ours and others pleas for the infrastructure that will help those living in them lead the pleasant and fruitful lives we've come accustomed to.
