Persuading local authorities to take "someone else's" housing requirements has never been easy. One of the benefits of the local government reorganisation is that in many areas, small authorities will be merged with their neighbours, which should give much less of an "us and them" mentality.
@alisonebennett.bsky.socialMid Sussex is being asked to take 50% of Crawley’s unmet housing need plus additional need from Brighton & Hove. This isn’t about local failure — it’s a broken system. Read my letter to the SoS.
