Robert Halfon: The Conservatives were the party of affordable and social housing – and must be again

This government should not be afraid to fix the rules that are currently breaking our country’s housing market.

By Robert Halfon MP | 24 February 2021

Sajid Javid: Housing First helps to break the cycle of rough sleeping. So let’s scale it up and finish the job.

The Centre for Social Justice’s new report sets out in detail how the programme could be increased from 2,000 to 16,500 places.

By Sajid Javid MP | 19 February 2021

Cladding removal means a huge bill. Punishing taxpayers or homeowners is an uncomfortable choice for Conservatives.

Installing sprinklers would provide higher safety standards at a much lower cost. That alternative should be available.

Tim Briggs: Labour is losing working-class support in London

Lambeth is the perfect storm of poor housing management, road closures, identity politics and a failed Mayor.

By Tim Briggs | 28 January 2021 | 11 comments

Harry Fone: How to avoid Croydon’s fate

Councils should only enter into the investment world if they know what they’re doing. They must remember that public money is at serious risk.

By Harry Fone | 3 December 2020 | 13 comments

London councils are still sitting on empty garages that could be replaced with new homes

Our survey identified 18,083 owned by councils in London. The true figure is likely to be over 20,000.

By Harry Phibbs | 9 October 2020

Dean Russell: Why we must back this housing plan – for the sake of young people, first-time buyers, and people with lower incomes

I have been frustrated, but unsurprised, by the unfounded rhetoric by some opposition politicians to the Planning White Paper.

By Dean Russell | 30 September 2020 | 15 comments

Steve Bell: Corbynism achieved power in Brighton and Hove. It failed spectacularly.

Pledges on housing and the environment were abandoned. The Labour Group became embroiled in bullying and anti-semitism.

By Cllr Steve Bell | 28 September 2020 | 30 comments

Sally-Ann Hart: This crisis has highlighted the urgent need for affordable, secure and comfortable homes

As Conservatives, we cannot, and should not, forget or ignore the necessity for a safety net; for good quality social housing that people enjoy living in.

By Sally-Ann Hart | 17 September 2020 | 30 comments

Brooks Newmark: How to eradicate the blight of rough sleeping once and for all by the end of this Parliament

It needs a clear prevention strategy in place by year-end, to provide a clear framework for local councils, and to roll out the Housing First Programme.

By Brooks Newmark | 16 September 2020 | 9 comments

Mark Henderson: The boost for shared home ownership is very welcome. Not everyone can afford to buy outright.

This is about basic fairness, and people on lower incomes deserving the same chance to get on the housing ladder.

By Mark Henderson | 11 September 2020 | 15 comments

Ian Lewis: Housing associations lack transparency. They should face more competition.

Why shouldn’t councils build the homes needed? We can re-enter the market, using low costs of capital to borrow, and cut out the middleman.

By Ian Lewis | 26 August 2020 | 25 comments

Felicity Buchan: We need new homes that are safe

If there is to be any positive legacy from the Grenfell fire, it must be that our building and fire safety regime is state of the art.

By Felicity Buchan | 12 August 2020 | 26 comments

Neil O’Brien: Planning reform needs to be handled with care

Limiting councils’ discretion could lead to a lot of fuss for little real change. The real problem is a geographically unbalanced economy.

By Neil O Brien MP | 10 August 2020 | 45 comments

John Moss: Khan has failed to deliver on housing. The Government should switch to funding the London boroughs instead.

Cut out the middleman. Go straight to the people who want to build – and help people who want to buy their home.

By John Moss | 10 August 2020 | 34 comments
