1. I have written to the Mayor of London today to make clear that housing delivery in London under his mayoralty has been deeply disappointing.
It falls far short of what the people of London, expect, deserve and need.

2. While other Mayors, such as in the West Midlands, have gripped their local need for housing & recognised the opportunities this brings, London has fallen behind the rest of the country due to a lack of ambition from City Hall.
3. Hard working people are paying the price for this poverty of ambition.
As a result, I have no option but to exercise my powers to direct changes before he is allowed to proceed with adopting his London Plan.

4. I have asked my department, @mhclg, to work with the Mayor to ensure that progress is made as soon as possible.
