LGA proposes six-point plan to tackle social housing shortage

Article summary

The Local Government Association (LGA) has set out a six-point plan for the government to deliver on council ambitions that could eventually see the delivery of 100 more council homes in every local authority per year. The outgoing Chairman of the LGA, Cllr James Jamieson, has said that every area in England should receive a new local housing deal by 2025, combining funding from multiple national housing programmes, to spark a ‘generational step-change’ in council housebuilding.
