At Strategy Committee the other day we were considering demands to increase housing growth for the South Suffolk area beyond existing levels. The Government really wants this for 2021-31. EERA also want us to consider where the new houses would then go.
Martyn Booth and I argued that we should not accept this increase in growth rate. Our infrastructure in towns such as Sudbury,Cornard and Hadleigh has not been improved by County or Government in fact we had seen services lost due to centralisation. Any increase in growth would most likely go into the market towns. This would be unacceptable.
The Committee totally agreed and it was good that we had total cross party support.
