Vince Cable: People ‘not flocking to Burnley’
Author: ITV News |
Vince Cable has called for a fresh wave of housing to be built on green belt land to solve Britain’s housing shortage – noting that new developments are being focused on the south-east because “people are not flocking to Burnley”.
The Business Secretary made the comments during a fringe event at the Liberal Democrats’ annual conference.
During a visit to Burnley earlier this year, Cable had described the town as “booming”, adding: “The town is now enjoying a real renaissance.”
