Lib Dems: “Guildford Council has let down those in housing need”
There are 3964 applicants on Guildford's Housing Registers, in need of affordable rented or low-cost shared-ownership homes, an increase of 361 in three years. Yet Guildford Borough Council has provided only 232 extra affordable homes since 2008, and expects to provide just 64 in 2011/12. Liberal Democrat councillors speaking at last Thursday's Borough Council meeting condemned the poor record of the Conservative-run Council over the last four years, saying they had let down those in housing need.
