Weāve set out the government's vision for transformation of Leeds over the next decade as part of our levelling up programme, including unlocking and supporting the delivery of 20,000 new homes
A great visit yesterday to a fully affordable brownfield scheme in wonderful Halifax. Worth flagging that it was a comprehensive package of partners will, determination and funding that got this one off the ground. Not some tinkering with the NPPFā¦.
Yesterday we welcomed the @MayorOfWY to Calderdale. We were proud to showcase brilliant partnership work on climate action at Ogden Water and regeneration at Beech Hill. ow.ly/CqWX50QB8Tt @WestYorkshireCA @TogetherHousing @esh_group

Scapegoating at its best ā¦. Have literally read as far as the first paragraph of the ministerial foreword and canāt bring myself to read any further.
How did we get to a point where ministers are pretty much suggesting social housing tenants are āprivilegedā
Weāre setting out proposals for new social housing reforms to prevent abuse and create a fairer system

These graphs show powerfully how we have shifted from spending money on bricks and mortar to subsidising landlordism.
This isnāt housing policy in any sense.

A quick lesson in housing finance:
Social tenants' rents aren't subsidised by your taxes. In fact, they cover the cost of maintaining the home, a chunk of the cost of building new ones and contribute to capital repairs to properties they don't live in

This is one of the few short term measures govt can take to help alleviate some of the pressures on the housing market and low income renters.
It is very much a short term fix to one problem. Big solution of course is building a LOT more affordable homes, which isnāt happening.
NEW: Chancellor unfreezes housing benefit and raises Local Housing Allowance rates to the 30th percentile, as @AnushkaAsthana @itvnews first reported last week.
This is still one of my go to research pieces when working on the business case for increasing the capacity in Northern housing and planning teams.... any plans for a refresh @NHC @BrianR0bson ?- would be happy to work with the team! northern-consortium.org.uk/iā¦
