The number of council owned social homes has fallen to
less than half what it was two decades ago. Figures from the CLG have revealed
the number of local authority owned social houses in England as of April 2015.
Across the whole of England 1,643,000 dwellings were local authority owned
which is a drop of 1.5% compared to the same month in 2014. Compared to 1994,
however, the number has fallen by 55% from 3.67 million. Private Registered
Providers now own 2.45 million dwellings across the country, up from 985,000 in
1997. Around 17.6% of all houses in England are owned by either public bodies
or Private Registered Providers which is a slight decrease compared to the
17.9% recorded in 2012. Read more on the Daily Mirror website.
