Charlotte Smith visits a new affordable housing development in the Cotswolds, meeting new residents and the housing trust that built it. Why did it take ten years to build?

Charlotte Smith visits a new affordable housing development in the heart of the Cotswolds where she meets the proud new residents and the housing trust that built it. Why, she asks, did it take ten years to move from the get go to completion?

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Mark Smalley.
