@QueenswayPS delighted to see on the news that you’ve won the fight to stay open. Brilliant!

To conclude #TheNewSlums: private property ownership in England encourages development that maximises land/property value. In regulating development, town planning should ensure the benefits of development are distributed justly, including the benefit of decent affordable housing

@aussiefloyd You were great. As always. Thanks for an amazing show. See you next time.

#askaussiefloyd hope you’ve got plenty of water. It’s hot in here. (Not a question I know. More of a heads up). Good luck guys. Can’t wait to see you

So sad to see the children of ⁦@QueenswayPS⁩ protesting against the closure of their own school. I hope LCC and ⁦@educationgovuk⁩ look beyond the numbers and consider the people

Our old estate still has ex miners living there. They are elderly people who worked at the mines yet now have to pack up and move into a new house on the estate when built.

My #TheNewSlums tweets have shown a woeful shortage of truly affordable housing and two contrasting approaches from LPAs: one unable to agree a local plan/housing targets; one with a laudable plan to try and address the #HousingCrisis. But planning is only part of the solution.

[Sally Planner @PlannerSally]

Better Planning for Housing Affordability https://t.co/ijh07GT78f suggests the diagnosis of the #HousingCrisis is wrong and makes a logical point that planning reform hasn't worked as the problem has worsened. A broader solution to a multi-faceted problem is needed. #TheNewSlums

@B0SLBU With construction costs rising, I'm guessing this is going to become more common.

I want to talk about the racist co-opting by developers of civil rights language to denigrate and describe local residents who challenge big real estate.

It’s time the Govt let me freeze rents.

@fransbo39 @RTPIPlanners Brilliant! Well done. If it makes you feel better I’ll be a young planner at 54!!

The Government Regulation Bill on Social Housing needs to include mandatory inspection from independent regulators to improve living conditions and quality of life of those in social housing. The Government need to act and this provides a key example why... #thenewslums

https://t.co/ub2S4vVvSz Finally some good(ish) news for some residents of Sugar Hill & Wordsworth Crescent. This case shone a light on the appalling shortage of affordable homes in Leeds as residents facing eviction struggled to find alternative homes. #thenewslums

[ResidentActionGroup @SaveOurHomeLS26]

60 families lost their homes . We all had to find new homes, sometimes out of area due to affordability . Our community ruined due to landlord greed

@ShaunTPlan And they’ve still not approved their local plan!

[Sally Planner @PlannerSally]

Interesting article from @CratusComm asking: is 'affordable' housing really affordable? Successive legislation from 1980s onwards means the answer depends on your income, your local authority, and the type of 'affordable' home. https://t.co/ahXwizM2C5 #TheNewSlums
