Worker Influx Drives Rental Price Increases in Aldeburgh and Leiston
What happened
Concerns have been raised that the influx of Sizewell C workers is causing rental prices to rise in the Leiston and Aldeburgh area. A proposal is currently seeking approval to convert Glebe House in Theberton into serviced accommodation for these workers, which could house up to 11 people. Four-bedroom properties in the region are currently being advertised for up to £6,500 a month.
