Calling on the government to change the rules on Right to
Buy in this month’s Autumn Budget, the LGA warned that councils are currently
able to replace only a third of homes sold under the Right to Buy. The scheme,
it said, could “grind to a halt” if the government does not change rules
preventing councils from keeping more than a third of the proceeds received
from council tenants buying their homes. According to the LGA, 12,826 homes
were sold off under the scheme in 2016/17, and councils only started 4,475 in
replacement. Read more on the LGA website.
