Finding out the Affordable Housing figures. It's not easy.

Email to Alastair McNeill on Nov9:

Could you please refer this email to the person who can point out to me
the place on the SLDC web site which lists the number of affordable
houses that have actually been built in its area, year by year.

In particular I'm interested in the figures for those that have been
built within the Ulverston boundary since 2006

I am being told by someone who may be badly informed that 79 have been
built since 2006 which surprises me.

If you look on this page you will see "New Affordable Housing in South Lakeland"

Anonymous was unable to give me a reference because it wasn't on the sldc web site originally.

The figures he quotes are there.

I am now trying to determine the make up of the figures for Ulverston.

........
We'll get there.

I may even try to find out how these houses are allocated and what follow up checks are made.

It will be good for a skeptic like me to be reassured that the system really works as well as is made out.

Now for that town clock!
