AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN SUTTON

Early day motion 1222, tabled 27 March 2007 by Tom Brake (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 16 members.

That this House recognises the importance of providing affordable housing for those who need it; notes that in Sutton only 574 households were re-housed into council properties in 2005-06, leaving more than 3,400 applicants on the council's housing register in October 2006; commends the council for its track record of delivering exciting housing and regeneration projects such as the Roundshaw and Durand Close regeneration schemes; and calls upon the Government and the Mayor of London to work more closely with Sutton Council to boost the supply of affordable housing in the borough.
