112 Councils Unite in Campaign for the Future of Council Housing
Southwark Council's "Securing the Future of Council Housing" campaign, launched nearly a year ago, has gained significant traction, uniting 112 councils across England in its mission to improve the nation's council housing system. The campaign's success is highlighted in a recent video featuring Marjorie, a Southwark council tenant. "Before I had a secure council home, life was uncertain," Marjorie shares, emphasizing the transformative impact of stable housing on her family's life. The campaign has already secured meaningful wins, including reforms to the right-to-buy policy. The video underscores the campaign's ongoing efforts to build new homes and ensure everyone has access to safe and affordable housing. This initiative represents a significant step towards addressing the pressing issue of affordable housing in England.
