Portlo village of England, which is known for its amazing scenic beauty and peaceful environment. But today the condition of this village is worrying. This village, which is a major tourist destination and used to attract tourists with its beauty, is now completely empty. The people here have fled their village and no one wants to stay. Out of the total 90 houses present here, this is the only house in which a child is living. This child is also not leaving the village because of his stubbornness, otherwise the entire village would have become empty. The rest of the people living here are troubled by expensive rent and other reasons, due to which they vacate the house.
Let us tell you that Portloe is a beautiful village, which is situated in natural valleys and on the shore of the sea. The natural beauty of this village attracts photographers, who come here from far and wide to take amazing pictures of the sunrise. But despite this, leaving the village has become a big question for the local residents. However, these people give their houses to tourists at expensive rents. But the rent is so high that even tourists have gradually started avoiding taking these houses on rent.
Not only is the rent here high, buying these houses is also very expensive. Only a 2 bedroom cottage in this village costs more than Rs 4.5 crore, and a 3 bedroom house costs around Rs 8.5 crore. Even if the local people go to buy new property for themselves, the price will remain so high for them also. Due to these rising property prices, local people have now moved to cities and rented out their homes. But this is a sign of real estate crisis, which has become a challenge for the local community.
The administration is also worried due to the migration of the local community in Portlo. Parish council chairman Luke Dunstone has expressed concern about the situation. He said that we have to take steps for the preservation of this beautiful village, so that the condition here does not get worse. Considering the situation in the village, Dunstone said that we need to consider changing the way local people earn money and reducing house prices. He also said that affordable housing is needed, so that people can return to this village and the beauty of the village can be maintained.
You will be surprised to know, but let us tell you that the case of Portlow is not only of one village, but it also reflects the reality of many other rural areas of England, where despite having beautiful locations, people face high rents and challenges of life (village living). challenges) are migrating to cities. Despite the growing popularity of coastal village tourism, if local residents do not get proper opportunities and housing, the future of such villages will hang in the balance.
This situation will not only affect the local culture but will also jeopardize the natural beauty of the village and the interest of tourists. The story of Portlo village forces us to think, will we be able to save our beautiful villages or will they remain only in memories? Right policies and measures are needed for the development and conservation of the local community, so that the grandeur and cultural heritage of these villages can be saved.
