ADEPT response to new housebuilding fund
Responding to Sajid Javid’s announcement of a £3bn fund to boost housebuilding, ADEPT President, Rupert Clubb said: ‘Given that £1.2bn of this was announced last November, an extra £2billion is simply not enough to deliver the housebuilding programme we need. Its not just a question of housing, vital though that is. We need to build genuinely sustainable communities that our creaking infrastructure is struggling to support. We need public transport, access to employment and investment in skills. We want to support growth, but not at any cost. Public investment must benefit communities and while we welcome extra funding to support housebuilding, building real communities requires substantial commitment and funding.”
