Boris Johnson savaged over housing crisis
London Assembly members approve 'no confidence' vote over mayor's investment plan
London Assembly Members savaged Mayor Boris Johnson’s failed housing plans yesterday with a 15-to-nine vote of no confidence.
The Tory Mayor has pledged to tackle the lack of affordable housing in the capital by encouraging private investors to build 42,000 homes per year for 25 years.
But last year only 21,000 homes were built — most of them out of reach for people on ordinary wages.
