I see that the five “affordable homes” unveiled at Dane Avenue and announced in Monday’s Press cost £1.4 million, which, if my arithmetic hasn’t deserted me altogether, means that the average cost was £280,000 each.
So who is making the money on these extravagances? Wouldn’t it be cheaper to spend the money on buying a few on the open market and refurbish them?
Ah, but then they wouldn’t count towards the ridiculous quota of 50 per cent, would they?
