The cost of housing in the UK and its impact on local
people is now the main concern for local government, ranking higher than
long-held concerns about health and social care services in a survey of council
chief executives. A survey found
affordability of housing was the area that most needed improvements according
to 61% of local government chief executives, with adult social care (43%) and
health care services (39%) coming second and third. Wage levels and cost of
living (38%) and job prospects (36%) closely follow. At the opposite end of the
list, parking (3%), community relations and antisocial behaviour (both 4%) were
deemed the lowest priority. Download a copy of the survey results from the
Solace website.
