'Get building to solve housing crisis,' Boris Johnson urged
Labour London Assembly members call for a new London Housing Corporation to build vital homes
London Mayor Boris Johnson will be told to “get building” today by Labour assembly members as the housing crisis continues to leave thousands in substandard accommodation.
Labour assembly group budget spokesperson John Biggs will renew calls for the mayor to start directly building housing through a new London Housing Corporation (LHC).
Mr Johnson must formally say whether or not he will adopt the proposal at today’s budget meeting.
