The Rural Housing Policy Review is now seeking views of parish councils on affordable housing.

Set up by Hastoe Housing Association, the review is exploring what has changed since the production of key reports into rural affordable housing published 2005-2008 and what now needs to happen to assist delivery.

The review group is chaired by Lord Best and includes authors of these key reports, Lord Matthew Taylor and Elinor Goodman, plus movers and shakers of rural affordable housing delivery from across the country.

Findings of the review will inform recommendations to national policy makers and assist those responsible for delivery.

The review has already sought input from local authorities and now is keen to get views from Parish Councils.

It is interested in the factors that encourage and deter parish councils from engaging in the delivery of rural affordable housing.

By responding, parish councils will help ensure the review is well informed and effective.

Completing a short tick box questionnaire will take about 10 minutes and will be enormously helpful to the review group.

Please return your completed questionnaire by 25 July to Jo.Lavis64@gmail.com

If you have problems accessing the questionnaire or any queries concerning the review, please contact Jo Lavis through her e-mail.
