Sarah Edge-Pimblott – 16th May 2021 Scrutiny Matters Feedback - Type of housing
I moved to the island with my young family 3 years ago. My husband and I both work in the hospital as an allied health professional and a nurse. The houses available within our price bracket is very low and most housing built appears to be apartments which we do not want to live in as we have moved from a house in the UK and have a dog. When recruiting and retaining staff in the health and community sector housing is one the main issues people leave.
There needs to be more affordable housing schemes similar to London perhaps which will help young people and people not working in the finance sector access the housing market.
More social housing needs to be available as the homelessness issue is worsening and there needs to be regulation on non qualified accommodation as the poor standard is frightening and unsafe for people in some cases.
