A new survey by three national council housing
organisations, which together represent over 1.3 million council properties,
has discovered a growing north-south divide over the impact of welfare reforms.
The survey found that tenants in the North of England are more likely to be
affected by the bedroom tax (13% compared to 5% in London) and also to be in
rent arrears (7% compared to 2% in the capital). Although nationally the percentage of households
in rent arrears and the percentage of tenants affected by the under-occupation
penalty and in arrears are falling, the north of England is experiencing worse
outcomes compared to other regions. Read
