Calls are growing for the government’s ‘Right to Buy’
policy to be suspended in Greater Manchester after it emerged that more than
5,000 council houses have been sold off across the region since 2012 - but not
a single one built to directly replace them. The findings from Greater
Manchester’s housing commission, part of the combined authority, reveal that
despite government promising ‘one for one’ replacements for any home sold off
over the last five years, nothing has in fact been built with the £27m generated
from those sales due to heavy Whitehall restrictions on councils. Read more on
