Almost a quarter of councils in England have invested
£130m in setting up 58 new housebuilding companies since 2012. However, many of
these companies are yet to deliver new homes at scale, while only one has paid

combined total of 58 companies, subsidiaries and joint ventures since April
2012. Another five councils said they were in the process of setting up
companies. Read more on Inside Housing.
