THE fact that City of York Council is to build 600 new homes (The Press, January 17) is good news but not good enough. Only 240 of these homes will be affordable, and some of these will have shared ownership.
All 600 should be council houses for rent, as this is where the greatest need is. The private house-builders will provide homes for sale.
