10 years of the Tories has meant a “disgraceful decline”
in the number of council homes, according to Labour’s shadow housing secretary,
John Healey. According to latest government figures, the number of homes rented
from councils has dropped from 1,786,000 in 2010 to 1,592,000 by the end of
2018 – a fall of 194,000 – a number equivalent to all the homes in Bristol. The
figure is likely to be attributed in part to changes made under the Coalition
Government, which drastically cut funding for council housing and diverted
investment into “affordable housing”. Read more on 24housing.
