Built environment bodies discuss social housing priorities for the new government
Social housing providers are at the heart of two political hot potatoes in the United Kingdom: the ongoing housing crisis and, with registered providers’ 4.4m homes contributing significantly to the nation’s carbon emissions, the drive to net-zero by 2050. Bringing up the quality of homes through retrofit also alleviates the burden on the NHS and social services.

Labour have put working class culture, communities and grassroots sport at the heart of their mission for change - and it is one I share, writes Michael Dugher
In the seven years since I stood down from Parliament, as CEO of UK Music and then the BGC, I’ve seen a lot of DCMS ministers come and go. Some were very capable, some were nice people, some (mentioning no names) were neither. So I was genuinely curious to see how Labour’s new team would set out their stall.
