Ruth Gripper is calling on the government to focus on affordable housing

Cornwall is in danger of becoming a ‘Wild West’ of speculative development, which will leave young families and first time buyers locked out, Truro and Falmouth Lib Dems have warned.

The government has increased the target of new houses in Cornwall from 2,707 to 4,421 - every year.

Lib Dem campaigners have warned that this will lead to a ‘Developer’s Charter' that only benefits big housebuilding companies.

Ruth Gripper, the Lib Dem Parliamentary Spokesperson for Truro and Falmouth, is calling for the government to focus on providing affordable homes for local families - not second home owners or AirBnB speculators.

She said: "We need targets for affordable homes - simply applying national housebuilding targets in a place like Cornwall will not solve the local housing crisis.  

“I am urging people to sign the Lib Dem petition calling on the government to focus on providing affordable homes. Please join us by signing it today.”

Sign our petition today.
