When visiting new council homes today that we’ve built at Jute House, it was a pleasure to be invited into Mrs Begum’s new council home – an accessible property tailored to meet the needs of her disabled child.
We are launching our new Housing Strategy to build more affordable homes and upgrade existing ones. The plan has been shaped by the voices of local people and grounded in the needs of our community. I also visited at Docklands Community Organisation, which is one of the many community spaces supporting residents across our borough. We are investing to tackle the impact of London’s housing crisis in our borough and ensure our residents have a place they can truly be proud to call home.
