SIR – AS a local resident of Bradford, Heaton, I know I can’t be alone in worrying about our housing situation and where the next generation are going to live?
Surely, with an election around the corner, there needs to be more of a serious local debate about the homes we desperately need in our community. The increasing need for affordable homes and big shortfall in supply means house prices are becoming out of reach of our pay packets. Home ownership is at its lowest level since 1987 and renting from the private sector is eating up more and more of our hard-earned salaries.
We all need to be prepared to join in the local debate with our Bradford councillors to tackle this problem, and think about how we can get the right homes in the right places at prices that are affordable for everybody in the borough. Please sign the petition at www.yestohomes.co.uk
