I have received a leaflet asking me to object to the NHDC Local Plan to build houses on the outskirts of Cockernhoe, but I approve of the plans.

The area is desperately short of affordable housing and the plans include a considerable amount of Shared Ownership affordable housing.

I also believe it will be a huge boost to the economies of North Herts and Luton and will provide excellent improvements to the road and path infrastructure between Luton and Cockernhoe.

I hope the plans are approved and work can begin soon. I feel it is the only opportunity for families like our's to get on the housing ladder in the area.
