South Northants Council have sent out a Housing Needs Survey to all households within King's Sutton. The purpose of this survey is to gain a greater understanding of the housing needs of people within the village; enabling an informed decision to be made on whether there is a requirement for a small affordable housing development within the village.
During my election campaign a recurring theme that was brought up was housing, specifically the lack of housing for people who grew up within the village and were looking for a home of their own. This is a real problem within King's Sutton, as there is a dearth of available housing within the village - the waiting list for housing is extremely long and growing!
I am not advocating the building of significant numbers of affordable housing within the confines or around the outside of the village. What I am advocating though, is a clear and transparent debate about all the issues, enabling an informed and well thought out decision to be made.
The Housing Needs Survey is a key part of this, please do take the time to fill it in and send it back in the envelope provided.
