Social Housing

House building goes on apace in Elmbridge but most new homes are large and out of the reach of most people - even residents of Elmbridge. What we lack is suitable smaller affordable one or two bedroom homes, homes for rent and social housing. The new Liberal Democrat/Residents administration has begun to put that right.  It sounds like a talking shop but the first stage is the setting up of the new Affordable and Social Housing Working Group reporting directly to cabinet.  Members are drawn from all parties. Its brief is to enhance the shaping of policy around social and affordable housing delivery whilst assisting the borough in meeting its strategic aims in this area. A wide range of work is proceeding at the moment but non can be made public yet.  But when it can you will be the first to know.
