The need for affordable housing in a village near Burnham-on-Sea will be discussed at a public consultation organised by Homes in Sedgemoor.
The Homes in Sedgemoor Housing Development Team are inviting people from the Berrow community to come along to the launch of the Berrow Housing Needs Assessment. This event will help the Housing Development Team and the people of Berrow understand if any housing need exists in the village. In recent times, house prices and rental rates have increased faster than income, especially in rural and coastal areas. This can sometimes force local people to leave Berrow, often moving away from family, friends, and support networks.
This event is your chance to gain an understanding of affordable housing in Berrow. The event will take place on Thursday, March 2 from 9:30am until 1:30pm at Barton Close Hall, Berrow, TA8 2NN. Further information about affordable housing in the area can be found at www.helptobuyagent3.org.uk for shared ownership properties and at Homefinder Somerset: www.homefindersomerset.co.uk for social housing properties for rent.
