Council Slammed After Breaking Promise to Replace Right to Buy Homes

Westminster City Council has been slammed after selling off 66 flats under the right to buy scheme and failing to replace them with new homes. According to figures uncovered by Labour councillors in the borough, the Tory-led local authority has made £16.2 million from the 66 flat sales since 2010. Cllr Paul Dimoldenberg, leader of the Labour Group, said: “The Conservatives promised that for every council flat sold under the right to buy a new home would be built to replace each one sold. "That promise has turned out to be completely worthless and not one single new replacement council property has been built in Westminster since 2010 despite the council receiving over £16 million for the 66 flats sold.” Read more on 24dash.
