Sir Keir Starmer's Housing Revolution
Sir Keir Starmer has announced plans for British bricklayers to start building twelve new towns by 2029, aiming to tackle England's housing crisis head-on.
Affordable Homes and Homeownership
At least 40% of the new homes will be affordable, making the dream of homeownership a reality for more families across England.
New Towns Inspired by Poundbury
The new towns will take inspiration from developments like Poundbury in Dorset, led by the Duchy of Cornwall, with a focus on community and sustainability.
No New Migrant Labourers
Sir Keir emphasized that not a single brick will be laid by new migrant labourers, highlighting a commitment to local workers and the economy.
Tackling Opposition and Blockers
Sir Keir pledged to confront opposition, including within his own party, to ensure that the ambitious housing plans become a reality and benefit those in need of affordable housing.
