To the board of Incommunities.

Bingley needs social housing; the diversity and equality of opportunity this provides is invaluable to our community. Incommunities should commit themselves to reserving the land currently used by the high rise flats on Crosley Wood Rd for social housing.

Last year Incommunities announced it was conducting an options appraisal regarding the future of the three high rise tower blocks on Crosley Wood Road in Bingley. Incommunities has since announced that they will rehouse all current residents to alternative housing, but have made no decision on the future of the site.

Throughout this options appraisal, Incommunities at no point has committed itself to considering only social housing redevelopment options. The board of Incommunities will be making the final decision on the future of the site by mid-September.

Since the Bingley area has limited access to social housing we, the undersigned, ask that in considering its options for the future of the site, the board should commit to looking only at a mixed social housing redevelopment option.

My kids grew up here and we need to keep housing affordable for local families. Dont sell out to developers who only care about profit.

The community relys on this land for real homes not just luxury apartments for people who dont even live in the area full time.

Bingley is getting way too expensive. Normal working people are being pushed out of their own town. Needs to stay social housing.

KEEP IT SOCIAL. We dont need more overpriced flats sitting empty while people are on waiting lists for years.
