Cheers Aled * Welshies in this context are the Welsh speaking Welsh who moved to Cardiff to live and work, and there was a lot of us in the Canton area! ps I live home in West Wales now!

NatureBoy Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 Very late to this. Interesting topic with a lot of varied views. Especially for what is/was a pigeon shooting (rural/farming based) forum. Many comments seem down on rural folk and communities? Very different picture in what is rapidly becoming a very crowed rural Mid Suffolk. Up to 60% of homes in some towns/villages are second homes, buy to let or air BnB's. Many second home owners have been using loop hole registering as lets when not to avoid charges. Causing resentment destabilising communities hence the hike in charges. Many villages the average age is 59+, affecting health care providers etc. Villages/communities would be far from deed without monied incomers. It's almost like a reverse long commute now. Monied urban folk buying up property/in to rural living, (bringing there entitlement, insecurities and negativity with them) having to commute earlier to top jobs in town/city to pay for it. Yet many more who were rural born n bred trade/services based priced out, but now have to commute from towns to work at the many rural business's that are based/developing on farms as result of diversification. These are so diverse from garden centres, motor/engineering works, Accountants, antique's, florist to big 24/7 players like Aspal Cider/ Coors. With 80%+ 0f UK population being urban based should i be surprised peps are so down on rural folk? No connection and very few stay, care or really get it! Especially field sports. Seem to have a lot to say opinions and want to change things , then they are gone. Often wondered from some of the comments, observations and topics in past what percentage of PW members actual live rural? Have we ever done a poll?

Mungler Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 These country people who sell their houses to city folk for an extortionate amount of money / at a massive turn - where do they move to? mind you, if they all felt that strongly about selling to townies they would all just refuse to sell or they would just sell to other country folk.

Probably the relatives of the people who went into care homes or the council who wanted to get as much money as possible to pay for their care i bought mine from the son of the owner the money was used to pay for his mother’s care home fees Edited December 2, 2022 by Old farrier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no Rights its just commerce. If out of town monies are to be marginalised communities will suffer. Either you can afford to buy or you are a renter. Then landlords are buying. Contraception is a conclusive answer in the long term I don't think contraception is the Answer or who will look after the old in coming years.....

Vince Green Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 There is no guarantee that a second home is necessarily a holiday home. It can be a home bought for a relative to live in or a home that has been 'gifted' by a parent to legally reduce or avoid IHT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contraception is absolutely the answer, on a global scale, every single resource on the planet is stretched by demand from the burgeoning populous. There is a cost to family beyond pounds shillings and pence. Housing demand, keep knocking out your young uns and increasing the pressure on the housing market,and by extension on water,power,food,etc etc etc, Here,every where in the world. The old,they will die,its there job its inevitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is because no one can be to blame for a multiple birth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry sportsbob, I didn't in anyway miss the point at all you have an opinion and just because it differs from mine matters not one bit ...my daughter is a senior care worker looking after people at the end of their life...and believe it or not but they struggle to find folks to work in her home apart from those who aren't born here ....so unless you know different I'll keep my opinion thank you....
