Bill Honeywell, director of Honeywells Estate Agents in Clitheroe, spoke to BBC Radio Lancashire after research from the Office for National Statistics estimates that first time buyers now need more than £23,000 in savings to afford a deposit.
Many are now finding themselves having to move back in with their parents to try and get the money together.
Mr Honeywell said:

But the banks want to know where you've got your money from, and if it's come from mum and dad, they won't always treat that the same as if you've saved it yourself, so you do have to save.

Strong future for East Lancashire baby unit, says NHS chief
It was agreed at a full council meeting last night to increase the tax by the equivalent of £5 per year on a band D home (valued between £68,000 and £88,000), which amounts to an overall cost for all Wyre's services of about 52p per day.
The council says that because government grants are being cut by over £600,000 for the coming year, it is making extra savings to offset them.
Quote Message:
Our council tax is the lowest on the Fylde coast and one of the lowest in Lancashire. I believe that 52p a day for the wide range of services we provide is extremely good value for money.

Work to stop flooding at the current site in Centre Vale Park means it will now be held in Cliviger, near Burnley, in June.
It's the first time in the West Yorkshire show's 103-year history that it will move over the border to Lancashire.
Quote Message:
In 2006 we did have to cancel the show after the restrictions were placed on the use of the park after extensive flood alleviation works, which meant that we couldn't disturb the ground and we would be liable if the ground and the drainage system were damaged. So it left us with very few options. The new site was an absolute lifeline for us.
