Local Politics of New Homes- London Borough of Lambeth

In Lambeth, south London, almost 5,000 households are in temporary accommodation and 30,000 on the waiting list for new homes.

Councillor Danny Adilypour describes how the way “developer tax” s106 money is raised and spent, how the Council’s own direct delivery programme creates affordable and social homes, and how partnerships with private sector developers are shaped, ensure local people benefit from housebuilding.
