UK Public Would Back New Era of Social Housing Construction

Politicians should not shy away from campaigning for a new era of social housing construction after a new survey showed the majority of the public would back it. Research from the Fabian Society shows that an overwhelming 93% of the population feels that the UK housing system is not functioning correctly with more than half of those questioned (57%) saying they would support more social housing being built. A further 22% feel indifferent with only 15% opposing more building. Crucially three quarters (74%) of those who support more social housing construction say they would also support homes being built in their area.
