Labour is on track to deliver the ambitious manifesto commitment to deliver over 1,000 new council rent homes by 2029. These homes will be delivered with the same low councl tax.
In the next 12 months, over half of the programme is due to be completed and occupied and we aim to have secured planning permissions for all the new homes within this period.
Aydin Dikerdem, cabinet member for Housing, said:
“Our Homes for Wandsworth programme isn’t just about bricks and mortar. We are prioritising people and communities by giving local residents and their families the opportunity to stay in the areas that they have grown up in.
“Every one of our council homes projects also renews and enhances local neighbourhoods. We’re putting in new roads and pavements, play spaces, gardens and landscaping – creating a sense of place and homes to be proud of.”
He added:
“Nothing is more important to building a good life than a safe, secure and stable place to call home. Our Homes for Wandsworth programme is one of the most ambitious council house building projects in London and we are proud of what we are achieving.”
