This
petition was submitted by Osian Jones having collected a total of 5,386

Text of Petition:
In a number of rural and
tourist areas, a large proportion of local inhabitants are deprived of homes as

The First Minister could direct the relevant Ministers to engage in urgent
discussions with Local Authorities to draw up a strategy to ensure community
control of the housing market mainly through amendments to the planning system.
