Council's plan to build 48,500 new homes in Cornwall 'still not enough'

“Demand in this particular case is created by marketing of a supply. In other words, the supply is not a response to internal demand.
It is difficult to satisfy the external demand because it is constantly being stimulated by marketing and indirectly by tourism. That means that we cannot reduce house prices for first time buyers by the method of large developments. For people on the housing list we need specific schemes which get them a home instead of using them as a false excuse for a developer's bonanza.”

“Roger Angove, they are not smears. These attitudes by UKIP writers have been amply illustrated in the weekly comments that they insert into advertising in local papers every week. I have alsi witnessed UKIP members baying at a meeting that involved women and gay men some years ago.

You have no alternative to the fact that European funding has been a necessity for Cornwall as successive governments have done very little for Cornwall. On this you repeat a mantra with no facts as you do on Cornish nationalism.

H Trevorow thinks we can pave over a small place like Cornwall and take more and more people with no consequences and still not sorting out the housing shortage. If 1000s of people move to Cornwall where there are housing and job problems then then how will their housing been funded? Its H Trevorow who has no solution because the developer in this article can't afford to pay for it. He has no solution for the additional pressure on services and the environment except for 'copy and paste'.”

“For those that don't know paddy...he's a fully fledged cornish nat who , along with mk and the lib dems/mk lite, advocate a degeneration policy of not even providing housing for the current waiting list.”

“thanks for that paddy
any answer for the 27THOUSAND FAMILIES on a waiting list....or will you just dissappear with the rest of the cowards”

“H_Trevorrow, do you think that re-posting your previous comments gives them more legitimacy?

Do you believe that if you repeat yourself enough times it will come true?

We read it the first time, if we chose not to comment on it, it was because we didn't think it worth commenting on. The intervening 7 hours and 17 minutes will not have changed our minds.”

“27000 families.... FAMILIES...on the waiting list.....and posters below think creating just 2400 per year new homes is too much...based on what evidence fools????”

“48000 over the next twenty years =2400 per year....this equates to a little over one house per cornish parish per year.
If only housing for local need/waiting list is built it will still take 10 years to house the current housing waiting list under this proposal.
Obviously over 10 years new claimants for social housing can be expected.
If new private housing is not created the exsisting private houses will continue to soar beyond even the better off local population as there will always be demand for richer incomers.
Conclusion -
This reduced number of houses will fail to clear waiting lists and contribute to higher priced private housing stock.
Those suggesting even lower new build numbers fail to engage with reality."”

“Don't you love it when the xenophobes ***** slap each other :]]”

“@ Doitdreckley

Do you have any evidence for your smears against UKIP or is it that you are incapable of understanding the meaning of the word 'Independence'.

Judging by your whinge about the relative size of the UK and EU handouts I assume that you think that someone else owes us a living.

Personally, I think that the best interests of Cornwall are served by membership of an independent United Kingdom, not as a benefit dependent fiefdom of the Fourth Reich.

As for 'Cornish Nationalism', anyone whose mental age exceeds their shoe size can see that it is not so much a political philosophy as an infantile disorder.”

“....of course Mr Dreckly will have a plan for the thousands of jobs reliant on the housing sector and i feel sure he is bursting to share his master vision with us...In your own time doit mate.”
