Conclusion
The level of disrepair in some parts of the social housing sector can undoubtedly be attributed partly to the age and design of the housing stock, some of which was never built to last and is now approaching obsolescence. For this, some blame must attach to successive Governments for not investing enough in new social housing or providing funding specifically for regeneration. We therefore welcome the Government’s commitment to building more homes for social rent.
