However, Finance want convincing that the one and two-bedroom flats are needed.Committee president Senator Terry Le Sueur expressed concerns following media reports that the one and two-bedroom property market is saturated.’We are not saying no, we want to talk about it.
Housing themselves say the market is saturated.
The States should continue to support the provision of cost effective social housing, we just want to make sure that this is cost effective,’ he said.Housing president Deputy Terry Le Main denied saying saturation point had been reached.
Far from it, he said.
The planned flats for the Le Coie, Sunshine Hotel site, Aquila Youth Centre and Le Masurier’s sites were needed to house the hundreds of people, particular the elderly, who were waiting for one- and two-bedroom homes.’I never said we had reached saturation point,’ he said.
‘What I said was once Le Coie, the Sunshine, Aquila and Le Masurier’s had been built, we had no intention of building further one- and two-bedroom flats.’
