Carmarthenshire County Council wants to hear from people who have a view about the Welsh Government’s plans to amend, or suspend, the Right to Buy for council houses, and the Right to Acquire for secure tenants of housing associations.

In order to maintain the availability of social housing in times of extraordinary pressure, the Welsh Government may look to give individual local authorities permission to suspend the Right to Buy in their areas for up to five years. Any suspension can be restricted to certain areas, or even property types, depending on local housing need.

Carmarthenshire County Council wants to hear people’s views on the subject. You can either respond generally, or you can answer a series of questions which seek people’s opinions on specific issues which indicate housing pressure.

If you want to make your views known, contact Sian Stephens on 01554 742196 or email SStephens@carmarthenshire.gov.uk by the end of September. Alternatively, you can access further information and respond directly to the Welsh Government up until October 31st. Visit www.wales.gov.uk/consultations
