Places for People’s pre-election survey found that more than 50% of people worry about the strain that housebuilding would put on existing infrastructure
A survey conducted for the 240,000-home housing association Places for People has found that almost two-thirds of respondents are supportive of new affordable and social house building in their local area.
However, 58% of the 4,000 people polled across the UK said they were concerned about the strain that housebuilding would place on existing facilities and services.
As a result, 71% of those surveyed said they believe that there should be more upfront investment in local infrastructure projects, such as schools, doctors’ surgeries and hospitals, for new housebuilding schemes.
