Labour’s Shadow Cabinet Minister for Housing, John Healey
MP, has written to all council leaders in England warning of the threat to
local communities if the Housing Bill passes. Mr Healey warns of the “severe”
effect of the bill on the ability of local communities to build the affordable
homes they need, and urges them to speak up.
He wrote: “Simply put, this bill is one of the most centralising and
anti-council pieces of legislation I have seen in my political career. It
effectively ends a local authority’s ability to secure the mix of new homes
needed in their local area and it will inevitably lead to fewer affordable
homes when the need has never been greater.” Read more on 24dash.
