Westport Councillor calls for affordable housing units to be included in future developments in the town Published: Friday, 30 April 2021 15:21
Councillors in the Westport/Belmullet Municipal District , earlier this week, approved a Part 8 planning to allow the development of 50 local authority houses at Golf Course Rd in Westport to be constructed.
Funding of 11.5 million euro has been secured by government for the development, however, a number of councillors on the authority voted against it.
Fine Gael Councillor Peter Flynn was among the three objectors, on the grounds that he believes
affordable housing units should be included in the development.
Cllrs Johno O’Malley and Christy Loftus concurred with that view and they insisted that with so many young couples in Westport who cannot afford to buy homes on the open market, and yet fail to qualify for social housing, that these families need to be accommodated in any new housing estate in the town.
