The government has been accused of “trashing” plans to
build more social housing across the UK after it imposed a shock interest rate
rise on cheap Treasury loans. Councils reacted with frustration to the one
percentage point increase on public works loan board (PWLB) finance, which was
imposed “out of the blue” this week, warning it could delay or scupper
housebuilding and regeneration schemes. They said rise would lead to fewer
council homes being built, and would reduce local authorities’ ability to build
and maintain schools, roads and waste facilities, and invest in commercial
property. Read more on the Guardian website.
