I read the Telegraph today (July 25) and was shocked and bitterly disappointed that Twin Valley homes have had to withdraw its plans to build affordable housing on the former Waterfield site in Darwen. Disappointing that residents and Councillor Foster are afraid that the properties could attract undesirables.
Many of our children cannot afford a deposit of many thousand of pounds for a house and are now being stigmatised as “undesirables” it is shocking that our elected members should support such an elitist and contemptible campaign.
