Homes England Should Be Rebooted To Regenerate ‘Left Behind’ Neighbourhoods

 Homes England’s remit should be refocused on renewing and regenerating ‘left behind’ neighbourhoods, according to a new report chaired by a former Downing Street housing policy advisor. The No Place Left Behind report by the Commission into Prosperity and Community Placemaking has said that the government must invest in the physical fabric of local places as well as the social fabric of local communities to tackle neighbourhood decline. It called for ministers to “empower Homes England with a new mission-based remit to focus on retrofitting, quality, regeneration and long-term placemaking; and more devolved decision-making”. Download the report from the Create Streets website.
