Affordable Rural Housing

EDM number 392 in 2009-10, proposed by Roger Williams on 08/12/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Countryside and Housing.

That this House is deeply concerned about the shortage of affordable housing in rural areas and the threat it poses to the viability of rural communities; notes that the average price of a home in the countryside is now around £40,000 more than in urban areas, pricing many lower income earners and young people out of the communities in which they work and were brought up; believes that in order for the shortage to be addressed, local authorities must be fully aware of housing need in each of their rural wards; supports calls by the National Housing Federation and the Countryside Alliance for the Government to ensure that local authorities and their residents have easy access to all relevant national and regional data about rural housing need in their area; and calls on the Government, in conjuction with local authorities, to make the provision of affordable rural housing a priority.

This motion has been signed by a total of 82 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
