Plaid Cymru's Councillor Ian Johnson opposed plans to sell the house
AN UNUSED house in Barry is to be sold – despite the need for council housing.
The former caretaker’s house of Gladstone Primary School, located on Southey Street, has been earmarked for sale, as it is no longer needed by the school.
Plaid Cymru Councillor Ian Johnson objected to the sale, and said: “We are always told that there are long housing waiting lists in Barry, so it makes no sense for the council to be selling off properties.
“In fact, the Welsh Government passed legislation a few years ago to end the ‘Right to Buy’, so that councils could ensure a good supply of council owned homes.
