Right to Buy: London Councils push for reforms to combat 'desperate need for affordable housing'

London Councils are calling for reforms to the Right to Buy Scheme - (PA Wire)

Reforming the Right to Buy could help “lay the foundations” improving social housing in the capital, say London Councils.

Following a government consultation on Right to Buy in November, the cross-party group is advocating for further reforms to the Right to Buy scheme and greater powers for local authorities. Boosting the number of homes for social rent “must now be the priority” in the face of rising homelessness, it warns.
