Recently, a development in the New England Quarter was approved which, among other things, contained 147 homes, only 53 of which were classed as affordable.
During its years in opposition, the Green party was always very loud in its support of at least 50% of housing in new developments being affordable.
However, now it is in control, it passes developments with just 36% affordable housing.
It must be much easier to have impressive standards in opposition than it is to deliver them in practice.
