Homeless
"Affordable" housing can be a mixture of a) rent only and b) co-ownership And yes, these schemes are run by housing associations and the like. In case you missed it, I believe it was Thatcher wot done it for councils being able to build houses. Right to buy and all that. Affordable housing, social housing, council housing.Call it what you will. Why shouldn't those unlucky enough not to have ...
" have heard through the grape vine, that 12 of those flats built in the High St, were secretly sold to a housing association" that's from your posting. That you felt compelled to write that struck me that you might have a problem about it. If so, is the problem that they were sold secretly (if indeed they were) or that they were sold to a Housing Association (if indeed they were). Or both or ...
Viaduct - is there an issue with the flats being sold to a Housing Association?
What is a 'sporadic' development?
Er....Bob. If you're buying up properties then aren't you making Dawlish's housing situation worse?

Complicated I know, but there you are. As it happens you are one of the goodness knows how many 'homeless at home'. I take it ...
Have heard (from reasonably realiable source) that yet another pre planning consultation is planned concerning new houses. Have heard that those living near to proposed site have had postcards telling them about this consultation. Anyone know if there is any substance in what I've been told?
In 2006 there were 4,199 on the Teignbridge Housing Waiting List. Now, admittedly, Dawlish is only a part of Teignbridge but that should give you an idea of the possible housing need in Dawlish. Also, remember, not everyone who is looking for housing registers their housing need with the local council. I hear a lot of people say that they children have left/will be leaving the area because of ...
Affordable housing, council housing, social housing call it what you will - housing is needed for those who do not have the financial wherewithall to buy.
