Millions of Brits living in Dickensian conditions in cold, damp homes this Christmas One in 10 Brits have frequently experienced 'dangerous levels of mould' in their homes over the past 12 months bigissue.com/news/housing/w…

Shocking behaviour from Berkeley Group, trying to silence the very people who have experience of what it is like to be a leaseholder in one of their properties. If you "would never" enforce a gagging clause, then remove it from leases. greenwichwire.co.uk/2024/12/11/ber…

In 1915, Glasgow tenants went on rent strike and won the UK's first rent controls. Today in Scotland and across Europe, tenants are fighting back against high rents and they are winning. Now it's our turn. Join us this Saturday 14 December at 11:30am, Cavendish Sq. Gardens.

How will the govt’s changes to the NPPF - tipping the presumption in favour of permissions - make any difference to the fact that London property prices are officially out of reach to all income groups? Over a million planning permissions have been left unbuilt this past decade

As far as I can ascertain there is zero numerical commitment/precision regarding social housing provision within the global 1.5m. target. Until we see that, the 1.5m is fiddlyfiddlesticks🙄

Terrible news for all affected.

Funny how Lambeth Labour councillor Danny Adilypour presents himself as a righteous GMB activist and champion of the masses. Isn't GMB policy against Section 21 evictions? Meanwhile, he is busy kicking out Lambeth tenants from so-called 'regen' estates. instagram.com/reel/DEF0xpptI…

South London - see you on Saturday for SHAPE Coalition (Southwark)💚 housing emergency march! ✊🏘❤️ Join us to demand that Southwark council stop doing dodgy deals with property developers and make sure our communities have the high-quality 3, 4, 5 bed council homes we need!

Landlords act like a monopoly to keep prices high. Renters must come together and fight to shift the balance of power in our communities and put ordinary people back at the centre of our housing system.
