Lewisham Labour offer major house-building promise

London is facing a growing housing crisis. Rents and house prices are rocketing and the Coalition has done nothing to help. In the last four years, Lewisham Labour has delivered over 2,000 affordable homes, more last year than in any other London borough. We've started building the firstnew council houses in a generation. Over the next four years we will deliver a major house-building programme, with 2,000 new affordable homes, including 500 new council homes. We will complete the renovation of all of our housing stock by 2018. And to tackle bad practice in the private rented sector, we will set up a Lewisham Lettings Agency, cracking down on the slum landlords that exploit the vulnerable. Brenda Dacres, New Cross Labour candidate said Lewisham Labour has a strong record on housing. Our major commitment to housebuilding will deliver the affordable and decent homes our community needs.
