Reader's letter: Broadbridge Heath depot site​​​​​​​ should be used for low cost social housing

A while ago I wrote to my county councillor regarding the Broadbridge Heath depot site.

I suggested that as this space is owned by the general public through the county council that this would be a very suitable site for low cost social housing.

It has the great advantage of a not having to pay a land owner a vast some of money. It has other huge advantages. Children would be able to walk to either Tanbridge House School or BBH Primary without having to cross a road.

It would have Tesco with its café, a Homebase, Halfords, and a leisure centre with a café all within walking distance. It could also have a regular bus service into Horsham.

I don’t know how many people are on the council waiting list for housing but it seems to me that this is an ideal site for local people to have housing where it is wanted at affordable prices.
