Councillors have been critical of objectors worried about criminality and falling house prices while approving a 100 per cent affordable housing scheme in Stretford. , currently home to DW Motors Manchester Ltd’s vehicle repair centre.
Members of the committee deemed objections over parking and traffic and the amount of affordable housing which would have a ‘negative impact’ on property values in the area as largely invalid. Coun Laurence Walsh said he was ‘very excited about this scheme’ alluding to the fact it was 100pc affordable housing.“We’re constantly being approached by people desperate to live in Trafford,” he said. “Shortages of this type of housing are a fact of life.
"Quite sadly, people are talking about bringing down house prices in the area and for some reason see that as a negative, but I don’t.” He suggested the developer be asked to up the disabled spaces to four and that was agreed by the committee.
tory scum don't want those who they regard as plebs livng near them
LOL there is NOT SUCH THING AS AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
They object because they know who will be living in them
