What issues are there for the young?

TaskStudy the following information 1. Explain the issues that exist for young people in Shropshire2. Come up with 3 ways that they could be helped

House prices in Shropshire are very expensive This means that many young families will be priced out and so move to the cities The areas is also very beautiful and so there is a high number of second homes

Governments could help by;1) Building affordable housing for local families 2) Giving more homes up as social rented 3) Reduce the number of people moving into the area

Task; • Read through the cards on your desks • Put the statements in order to explain some of the issues

Issues in the countryside;

The price of rural housing goes up

Demand from second homes owners increases

There are few council houses left in rural areas because of the Right to Buy schemes introduced in the 1980s.

Too little social housing for people on lower incomes

The country roads are small and so congestion will increase

Local people especially young adults or those on low incomes cannot afford to buy houses in the countryside

The supply of houses for sale is low

Very few new houses are built because planners do not want houses built in the countryside on Greenfield sites.

People moving to the local area may work in the cities. They will not use the local services as much

As local services are not being used as much, they will close down

People on lowest incomes move out

People living in the local area will commute to work in the cities
