My Letter To The Milton Keynes Citizen

Dear Editor,
Conservative-controlled Aylesbury Vale District Council spell out in their own policy document why they are proposing extra housing around Aylesbury and at Salden Chase. AVDC state there is already a severe problem in their area with the lack of affordability of housing and average house prices at nine times the average income, that 20% of their population is under 16 and that population's numbers are increasing at more than twice the rate of the rest of Bucks.
It is misleading of local Conservative politicians in Milton Keynes to pretend the need for this extra housing would go away if there was a change in government.
Tory plans to give local councils autonomy in where they build the new housing they need would actually mean that AVDC could double the size of Salden Chase and the residents of West Bletchley and their councillors would have no power to stop them.
Yours etc
