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.

Free To Be Who You Are

As liberals, we believe that true equality is achieved when individuals are not only free from prejudice and discrimination, but also free to fulfil their potential. So fighting for LGBTQ+ rights is not a choice Liberals make.
