Westminster Labour councillors have called on the council
to use its latest share of the new homes bonus to build new social housing in
the borough. Westminster City Council has been given £8.25 million by the

homes. Labour says that the council is under a duty to consult residents on the
use of its NHB funding. Read more on 24dash.
