Thanks for your string, Joe, it confirms most of what I said in my blog. redbrickblog.wordpress.com/2017/12/20/wil… I'm not interested in political insults from either side but to find out what the real housing implications are. Apols - string! Sometimes you give clear numbers - 6,400 new homes - sometimes they are absent - eg the number of social rent homes. In most big regen schemes the number of soc rent is reduced as the scheme progresses, not increased, as 'viability' (and greed) kicks in. It has to be tied down.
