The need for affordable housing in Berrow is to be discussed at a public consultation meeting.
The Homes in Sedgemoor Housing Development Team is inviting people from the Berrow community to come along to the launch of its Berrow Housing Needs Assessment.
A spoksman says: “This event will help the 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.”
The event will take place on a new date of Monday March 13th (not Thursday March 2nd as previously stated) from 9:30am until 1:30pm at Barton Close Hall in Berrow, TA8 2NN.
Further information about affordable housing in the area can be found here for shared ownership properties and Homefinder Somerset for social housing properties for rent.
