Manchester Evening News|July 13, 2024
GREATER Manchester is ready to build more than its expected share of the new government’s housing target, Andy Burnham has said.
BURNHAM: WE ARE READY TO BUILD

It comes as he also unveiled the UK’s first-ever Good Landlord Charter in a bid to protect renters and drive up standards in the sector. The new Labour government has pledged to oversee the building of 1.5 million new homes across the country over the next five years.

And Mr Burnham says Greater Manchester has made an offer to the government that 75,000 of these could be built in the region during the course of this Parliament. That is a third more than the region’s expected share of the national target.
