Newquay, Cornwall, faces a severe housing crisis due to second homes and holiday lets, with a 27,000-long council housing waiting list.

Newquay, a UK seaside town in Cornwall, faces a severe housing crisis due to the rise in second homes and holiday lets, leading to locals living in car parks and a 27,000-strong council housing waiting list. Prince William's £3 million plan to build 24 homes for the homeless in Nansledan is seen as insufficient. Cornwall Council is working to address the issue by building more council housing and converting open market homes into affordable housing.
