Start you off with an easy one to start with, should the Kings Head have been pub or home? ;D

I 100% agree, once the town is taken over by old peoples homes where will the 'new blood' live? Instead of more and more old folks homes (not that I mind them retiring here mind I just dont want them to get the town shut down at 7 oclock!) I really think people (developers, council whoever) should be thinking about starter homes for young people/couples. I know many young people who have had to move out of town to get on the property ladder, of course once you move out you can never afford to come back...

no more old folks homes, I had to move away 30 years ago as could not afford to buy in Barney , even though born and lived for 21 years- I did not stand a chance.

Have to agree with you there the town desperately needs affordable housing for young families or the town will slowly die on its baclside.
Don't know if building cheap housing to buy is a good idea as people buy it cheap then put it on the market for a quick (and big) profit, not quite the idea is it.
How about more renting accommodation? Not social housing but private accommodation with reasonable rents not the £400 - £500 a month rents for properties that are not council owned.
