July 1st, 2015Via: BBC:
Many young people are being “exiled” from the neighbourhoods they grew up in because of a lack of affordable housing, a cabinet minister is to warn.
Communities Secretary Greg Clark will tell council leaders it is a “defining test” for any government to provide homes to keep the “chain of community”.
Harriet Harman will tell the conference the housing shortage is now “chronic”.
Tory plans to make housing associations sell homes will make matters worse, the acting Labour leader will say.
