Talking affordable housing with Glenn Harris, CEO of @MidlandHeart, earlier today. MH deliver homes and services across the Midlands, inc Northants, to help people live independently. Some great ideas on how gov’t can help housing organisations do more!

(Must fix the clock...😎)

Excellent exposure of the scandal of poorly regulated ‘exempt’ supported accommodation in #Birmingham and elsewhere. A must read. Thanks @msfiveounces et al

Heading back from a busy couple of days influencing for @MidlandHeart at #CPC2019. Packed schedule lots of people to see but still found time to learn how to use a digger. thanks @Thakeham 😄

Packed room at our fringe on how to deliver more homes and jobs for the West Mids with @WestMids_CA @andy4wm and @jrf_uk #CPC2019

Really enjoyed supporting @MidlandHeart work championing more affordable homes at this years #Lab19 especially @WestMids_CA session on building the West Midlands future with @Joe_MidHeart and @Jack_MidHeart

[Rob Hunter @robhunter89]

How could the planning system help us build more affordable homes in the #WestMidlands? Have your say on the @wmappg planning inquiry launched today

[West Midlands APPG @wmappg]

Today we launch our inquiry into planning and infrastructure in the #WestMidlands. We would like to hear from businesses and organisations in the region. For full details see our website: https://t.co/5Kp6iUz455 @IanAustinMP @JeremyLefroy

[Rob Hunter @robhunter89]

Thanks for clarifying. Really enjoyed the documentary it’s fantastic to have such a passionate campaigner backing housing associations and councils to build more affordable homes #CouncilHouse100

[George Clarke @MrGeorgeClarke]

Thrilled to have @NatFednews on board my campaign. It’s called Council House Scandal but it’s a RALLY call for councils AND housing associations ALIKE to get the money they deserve from Government to build more truly affordable homes for generations to come #councilhouse100

[Rob Hunter @robhunter89]

Down in London for the day great to see campaign to #BuildSocialHousing all over the tube at Westminster!

[Rob Hunter @robhunter89]

Agreed. The best solution isn’t always the most obvious one!

Second session of the morning with @MoversShakersUK sees @MidlandHeart Glenn Harris join a panel with Sir Edward Lister to discuss how partnerships with @HomesEngland can help get more affordable homes built

[Rob Hunter @robhunter89]

.@MidlandHeart Glenn Harris talks about building more affordable homes and creating balanced communities at @MoversShakersUK Midland Breakfast with Waheed Nazir, @HomesLucyBlas, Keith Simmons, Kate Still and @Faraz_Baber

[Rob Hunter @robhunter89]

It won’t solve all the ills in the housing market but Tenant Fees Act is big step in right direction as I’m sure anyone who has ever been ripped off by agents will agree!

Busy couple of political days. Invited some of our customers to Parliament on Wed to talk to MPs about building more balanced and sustainable communities & then welcomed @HeatherWheeler to Brum yesterday to visit one of our flagship supported living schemes. #housing
