‘We just want to keep our beautiful field’: Community split over ‘affordable homes’ plan for estate’s green space
Plans to build 30 new affordable homes on a much-loved field in the heart of an estate are dividing a community. The proposals would see rental housing ‘for local people’ built off Borrowdale Road, in Langley, Middleton. The land is known locally as ‘The Ponderosa’ - also an old colloquial name for Langley itself.
“Far too often, people tell me their family members had to move away from Middleton because they can’t get social housing locally,” she told the Local Democracy Reporting Service. She adds that none of the company stakeholders or their family members would be allocated any of the homes, while the lettings policy would prioritise Langley people ‘as they are the ones currently struggling to find social housing. Langley people will always get a priority’.
“This land has been untouched, we have wildlife that inhabit the land and it is beautiful, especially in full bloom,” the committee spokesperson continued. “Some members of our committee suffer with their mental health and use this area to walk and clear their thoughts, again they have been singled out on social media for expressing this.”
