Councils are returning to house-building for the first
time in decades to address the affordable accommodation shortage that big
developers have failed to resolve. Government figures show that none of the

new homes in the region - around 85% - have been delivered by commercial
developers, with the remainder built by housing associations. But despite a
more than 50% increase in the rate of house building since 2014/15 - the region
remains far behind government set targets. Read more on the East Anglian Daily
