RESIDENTS of a quiet picturesque town have told how they are furious at their council for buying homes for refugees.
South Kesteven District Council has snapped up 12 properties on a posh newbuild estate – but locals believe they should have been prioritised.
Residents living in rural Langtoft, Lincs., say there is ‘an outcry’ over the plans to house families fleeing war-torn countries on the £1.8 million estate.
The council has bought 12 houses in the picturesque village, where property prices average £400,000, to provide housing for Afghanistan and Ukrainian refugees.
The dozen homes are the first of 21 earmarked for the scheme and are a mix of two and three-bedroom new-build houses and two-bedroom bungalows.
