ConDems Axe 100,000 New Homes

More than 100,000 planned homes have been axed by councils since the ConDem government came to power.
Labour’s target of three million new dwellings in England by 2020 has been ditched by the ConDems – and town halls instead told to devise their own proposals.
Dr Peter Williams of housing watchdog NHPAU said: “The likelihood is we will see fewer homes being built, the prospects for first-time buyers look extremely difficult and not likely to get better in the near future”.
