Housing targets 'don't
Manchester Evening News
|October 08, 2025
ANDY Burnham has admitted that setting targets for private developers to build or pay for affordable housing 'doesn't work'.
-
The Greater Manchester mayor told an event at the Conservative Party conference that councils should build more housing instead.
During the Centre for Cities event in Manchester on Monday the Labour mayor repeated his calls for all of the £39bn set aside for housing nationally in the coming years to be spent on building council homes.
He said that the country must start building more council housing than it's losing, referring to the Right to Buy scheme which allows tenants to buy council homes.
