Cladding Victim 
Cladding Victim @LostInSW19·
@tomcopley @Estates_Gazette Meanwhile, all blocks in our development finally got news this week about the "plan" to remove and replace ACM cladding. The job won't be completed until at least 2029 - 12 years after Grenfell. One block remediated on YOUR watch must have its new cladding remediated AGAIN.

Next week 9th to 15th March is #NationalEmptyHomesWeek here's why it matters - over half of the 175,000 children whose lives are currently blighted by inappropriate and insecure Temporary Accommodation are Londoners - yet long-term empty homes in the capital keep going up and up

'Hundreds of people relocated to deprived parts of north-east of England because the councils in their home areas don't have enough housing of their own. Some have never heard of the towns they must now call home and say they have been left to struggle' bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

One million empty hones is too many when hundreds of thousands are trapped in temporary accommodation and the biggest increases in long-term #emptyhomes are in London.. Where most of those homeless families originate (over half of all England's homeless) bbc.co.uk/news/articles/….

Chris Hinchliff MP@CHinchliffMP·
Private developers drove the housing crisis. Now they want deregulation: lower quality but still unaffordable, freezing homes in flood-risk areas. Labour will carry the blame if we don’t reject the race to the bottom. My op-ed for @LabourList 👇🏻

Michael Gove says there is “institutional resistance” to leasehold reform inside the Treasury …
Housing, Communities & Local Government Committee@CommonsHCLG

Lord @MichaelGove, former Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, told us that freeholders "have benefitted from a system whereby they get money for nothing", and he'd like to see an acceleration by Government to end ground rent.

It’s official: The Office of Budget Responsibility expects no more than 1.3m homes will be built during this Parliament. Even that figure contains the sunny assumption of a sharp rise to 305,000 by the year after this Parliament ends. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/69a6d7b6…

@thomasforth Long-term vacancy in London rose 93% in 8 years ..and that's just the @mhclg figure,the last census gave a vacancy level of over 25% in some inner London boroughs..so you could work towards that but it isnt going to house any Yorkshire folk - just like it fails to house Londoners
