Pretty depressing reading.

    I live in the 272nd most deprived area (out of 317).

    New 4 bedrooms houses on horrible estates cost £850,000 because Londoners have moved here and commute from the nearest station.

    Build the houses, make them actually affordable and only sell them to people who live or work in the local area.
