Labour-run councils have built more homes than Tory-run councils, Labour research reveals
LABOUR-RUN councils are outbuilding their Tory counterparts by an average of more than 1,300 new homes each since the Tories took power in 2010, new research released by Labour revealed yesterday.
On average, 2,464 new homes were started in Conservative-led council areas between 2010 and 2017.
But the House of Commons Library analysis found that Labour councils started building 3,791 homes on average — 54 per cent more than Conservative councils.
