LONDON, ONT. The need for affordable housing is more often associated with large cities. not towns like Mount Brydges. But the Chief Administrative Officer for Strathroy-Caradoc says the need is there, “If you Google-search ‘rental accommodations in Mount Brydges’ nothing will come up.” Fred Tranquilli says that creates an imbalance in a community looking to maintain a healthy downtown. “It makes it difficult for anyone trying to start out on their own, to support themselves if they’re earning minimum wage, working in a local shop.” Mount Brydges is one of the many communities in our region that has seen an explosion in new house construction and dramatic housing price increases. Despite a population of about 2,000, Mount Brydges has a big-city problem, a lack of affordable housing.
