Respondent: Mr James Thomas
Representation Summary:
Support for allocations in Royston on the grounds of:

- rising house prices and rents
- supports a thriving town
Full text:
I support all the allocations for numbers of new houses in Royston as there is a significant shortfall of supply of housing compared with demand. Many who don't own a house such as myself are unable to afford rapidly rising prices, and rents are also increasingly unaffordable. Additional housing should help to alleviate these problems to a degree and support a thriving town which I hope will grow further over time.
