As a resident of Hove, I am concerned about the lack of serious local debate on the homes we need in our community.

Many find it hard to save money to get on the housing ladder, or struggle with increasing rents while our salaries stay the same.

I am part of the Yes to Homes campaign which is helping to create a lifeline for people who are renting, trying to get on the housing ladder, and stuck at home with only dreams of moving out.

We all need to join in the debate with our local councillors to tackle this problem, and think about how we can get the right homes in the right places at prices that are affordable for everybody in Hove.

But our community leaders can only deliver those homes if more local people tell them things must change. The community must join the Yes to Homes campaign.

Please sign the petition for more of the right homes, in the right place, at the right price at www.yestohomes.co.uk.
