The Government recently published the Housing and Regeneration Bill to deliver greener, more affordable housing.
Measures announced in the Bill include:
- Making it easier for councils to build council homes
- Allowing stronger action where tenants are unhappy with the management of their estates
- New rules for councils to tackle anti-social tenants
- Help address the shortage of affordable housing for first time buyers and families
- Make housing greener to help tackle climate change by requiring developers to indicate whether a sustainability assessment has been made.
