A councillor has welcomed action on the lack of social housing across Lichfield and Burntwood.

A motion on the lack of “genuinely affordable” properties was given unanimous backing at a meeting of Lichfield District Council earlier this week.

A cabinet decision now shows that the leader of the local authority, Cllr Doug Pullen, has asked the council-owned Lichfield West Midlands Traded Service to develop a proposal for a new service dealing with issues around temporary accommodation and social housing.

It also says that a proposal will be developed this year on how best to tackle the shortage of such homes.

Cllr Russ Bragger, who put forward the motion, said:

> “I welcome the rapid moves to implement the recent council motion I proposed on social housing.   
>  
> “Lichfield District needs urgent action as the cost of private rental excludes many people including families.   
>  
> “I trust that the first properties can be bought soon and the management services can effectively maintain them. The Labour group will be following this closely.”
