Affordable Housing: Meeting the Needs of a Struggling Population
As the new government has scrapped central planning targets and given control back
to the local authorities, the provision of new housing in many areas is become a lesser priority and plans are put on hold. Providing affordable houses and backing the construction industry is a trick being missed by the government, in its drive to develop a new and inclusive society and it's a trick that could ultimately be the downfall of all the big ideas we've heard so much about in recent months. It is detrimental to developers who are unable to build more houses and keep people employed and without genuine affordable housing, without shared equity homes that are available and meaningful then people have no incentive to change their way of lives. They're better off where they are on the fringes, living off the council. It's time for change.
