Camilla Dixon, co-founder of the First Not Second Homes campaign group, said: “We have a town where the rich people come to on holiday, when in some part of St Ives more than a third of children live below the breadline.
“It is having a detrimental effect. We depleted our social housing stock when they were sold in the 80s.
“Because the value of land has gone up, developers have been land-grabbing and land banking to make more money.
“It means genuine social housing developments are being priced out. It became even more obvious during the pandemic when it all got out of hand.
