LOCAL HOUSING NEEDS SURVEY
With House Prices ever increasing the Parish Council is concerned over a possible need for more affordable housing in Wrentham so that villagers who cannot afford to buy or rent locally will not be forced to move away.
For this reason we are sending out this Housing Needs Survey, to find out if this is the case in Wrentham. Sunila Osborne Rural Housing Enabler at Suffolk Action with communities in Rural England (ACRE) a charity that works with and supports local communities in Suffolk, is assisting us in carrying out this survey as well as communicating with Waveney District Council, who are supporting the project. The survey will be analysed by Sunila so all information given will be kept confidential. Sunila will then give a summary report to the Parish.
Should the survey show a need for affordable housing in Wrentham then steps will be taken towards finding a site if at all possible for a small development according to the needs of villagers (any house built would be for local people only). These steps will then be discussed by the Parish Council and parishioners will have an opportunity to comment. Because our Parish only has a small population, these homes will always stay as affordable homes and cannot be sold on. Many developments such as these built in other parishes have proved a real success in keeping the community alive and helping young families and those on lower incomes to stay within the village with family and friends.
This is a very important issue that we as a community have to face and so please take time to fill in this survey. If you know of any persons who has had to move out of the village and would like to move back or any additional person from or with a close connection to the Parish who are in housing need, please contact the Parish Clerk at the above address. All information is confidential.
