Shared ownership households complain of housing segregation

People living in shared ownership homes are being denied access to open spaces, car parks, gymnasiums and swimming pools, fuelling complaints of housing segregation.

This is really poor journalism! Service charges for a block with a concierge and a gym are at least £5,000 per year, landlords who take on the freehold of shared ownership blocks do not want to pay this much so they choose to have fewer services!

Isn’t this like buying an economy flight on BA and then moaning you’re not in first class?

Isn't part of this to due with how council tax is set, so affordable housing is set up with less facilities and seperate entrances so they are not top banded?

I'm outraged my neighbour's more expensive flat in the same building as me comes with a parking space and garden. Can you believe the lease on the property was written under a LABOUR government (Callaghan) yet didn't take into account my needs when I moved in years later.
