Experts have accused David Cameron of offering cheap new
homes for middle-income earners at the expense of those on low pay after the
unveiling of his manifesto on housing. Outlining his promises in Colchester the
prime minister pledged to solve Britain’s housing shortage at the same time as
protecting the green belt. He even claimed the Conservatives would be building
200,000 homes a year by 2017 – three years sooner than Labour. Central to his
offering was a pledge to double the number of discounted starter homes for
first-time buyers. Shelter accused
Cameron of trying to solve an affordability crisis by getting rid of affordable
housing and the CIH said “We are very concerned about these sites being exempt
from section 106 agreements.” Read more on the Guardian website.
