A campaign group says it wants to state the case for more new homes in a county which until now has been associated with high house prices and opposition to new developments.
The Homes for Surrey campaign has been set up in recent days and has set out a mission statement saying it is championing people looking to buy or rent a home in Surrey, aiming to publicise the already-high cost of housing in the county, and to help local people speak out in favour of more housing.
Surrey, often depicted as a leafy location best known for opposition to new schemes, enjoys an average house price of £443,131; this contrasts with neighbouring Hampshire, where the average house price is £297,932.

If the people of Surrey are starting to complain about high house prices and rents, you know something is seriously wrong with housing in this country. Will anything be done? Will it heck!
It will if people sign up and support the campaign!

I couldn't agree more Kevin. This pandemic has proved nothing if not that we need more fight in us to stop bureaucratic morons riding rough shod over what the people want and need. If we are all going to just roll over and allow ourselves to be herded like sheep then Jon's right and nothing will change. We need to find some of that backbone our grandparents displayed rather than a " oh well there's nothing we can do about it" weak attitude.
