THE lack of affordable homes is the main housing concern among residents in Sevenoaks District, according to a survey.

The majority of respondents said more affordable homes were needed for key workers, including teachers, doctors, nurses and police officers.

The survey on housing was distributed to homes across the district by Sevenoaks District Council.

Preservation of the environment was also rated highly, even though reducing car journeys was given less priority.

The feedback will be used for council decisions and another survey is currently being sent out.
