Your story on house prices (Echo, Nov 6) implies that it is a good thing that prices in our area are on the increase.
But is this such a great thing?
Surely the way to a sustainable economy in the town is for first time buyers to be able to get on the housing ladder. They then eventually sell and the housing market keeps moving on.
The likely purchasers, the second home owners, are only able to bring a certain amount of finance to the town but not enough to sustain local business and enterprise.
