What the survey results said about Our Homes

Around 70 people mentioned homes and housing in the community survey, and around 65 referred to the cost of living (mainly transport and housing) as a challenge.

Of those who mentioned homes and housing, the single biggest issue (mentioned by around 50 people) was the need for affordable housing - particularly for young people or families.  16 people mentioned the need for sheltered housing, care or respite accommodation; and a handful suggested that second homes should be restricted and the design of new houses should be more sympathetic to the area.

Around 20 people suggested that there should be support for residents with winter heating, fuel and electricity costs.  About 10 suggested that there should be subsidies for residents to move away from fossil fuels in powering their homes.
