Affordable homes in Grasmere

One of the biggest challenges facing people who've been brought up in the Lake District is trying to afford to stay there.

Property prices are hugely inflated by people wanting to buy holiday homes in the area.

This afternoon fifteen so called "affordable" homes were opened in one of the Lake District's most popular villages, and they're available to locals only.

15 so-called "affordable" homes are being opened in one of the Lake District's most popular villages this afternoon.
