(Picture: PA)The Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s plans to allow housing association tenants to buy their properties at knock down prices under right-to-buy has been slammed as a “dangerous gimmick” by the boss of one of Britain’s largest homeless charities Shelter.
Polly Neate, chief executive of the charity said that the plans announced today were “baffling” and “unworkable” and would sell off the “little truly affordable” housing left.
