We will build 200,000 quality Starter Homes over the course of the next Parliament, reserved for first-time buyers under 40 and sold at 20 per cent below the market price.

I had no idea what she was talking about so when I got home I googled this '5 eggs in a box story'. Well, well, quelle surprise, it was a story ...
All, for info - see letter below that I sent to our MP last week. I copied in all our local councillors. To date, I have had no response back from MP. "Dear Ms Morris, The Housing and Planning Bill and Starter Homes I note it is the government’s policy that Starter Homes, which outside of London can cost up to £250,000, should not only be officially defined as a form of Affordable ...
