Respondent: Medway Green Party

Medway needs 4,278 dwellings, including 1,200 Council Houses to satisfy natural growth (see Local Housing Needs Assessment 2021). The Standard Method results in six times actual need. No professional advisor or planner can condone or be complicit to such patent manipulation of the housing market solely to maximise the profits of the Volume House Builders. Consequent on the giveaway sale of Council Houses we are faced with limited local authority finances and a Housing Crisis for those most in need, Medway must focus on its residents that are most in need and ignore Government policies driven by greed and corruption.
