Homelessness and rough sleeping devastate lives.

They have been too high for too long in our country and today this government is injecting another £84 million to tackle it, including over half a million here in Greenwich.

To accelerate housing delivery and unlock economic growth, this Labour government will build the next generation of new towns.

High-quality, well-designed, sustainable, and liveable communities – we’re determined to have spades in the ground on at least three in this Parliament.

It has been both a pleasure and a privilege to work with Angela Rayner over the past two years.

She’s put her heart and soul into delivering for this Labour government and leaves a legacy to be proud of.
