I have spoken reguarly about the need to find a balance between holiday rentals and housing for local people.
This is why I welome the Government's announcement that there will be a review into short-term tourist accommodation including Airbnbs, which will allow us to understand their impact. South Hams District Council and Torbay Council have both already done a lot of work on this issue so will be well prepared to feed in to this consultation.
There's a lot more work to be done but I'm delighted the Government is listening to myself and colleagues who regularly speak up on this.
