Around half of #AffordableHousing is currently delivered through planning requirements (Section 106). There are problems with the current system in terms of the quality of the homes being delivered, but reducing the obligation is not the answer without a good alternative.

At @ICClimited, we design our missions around your purpose. Right now, the purpose is #transformingpublicservice to cope with one of the most challenging periods in public sector finance so councils can still deliver core services. room151.co.uk/funding/counci…

A great call to action from Georgia Gould. The #housingcrisis is acute in London. Her proposal for councils to acquire more properties to let at social rent is definitely part of the solution but it needs serious investment from central government to be delivered at scale.

Inspiring words from my @ICClimited colleagues

The prevailing narrative is that climate action is an expense rather than an investment – And while it’s true that the US, UK, Canada and Australia have fallen billions of dollars short of their “fair share” of climate funding... theguardian.com/global-develop…

My @ICClimited colleagues like Andrew Starkie have a proven track record in helping councils deliver real #LevellingUp at a local level. In this great article in the MJ, Andy shares practical steps to keep investing in communities with or without central government funding.

Still giddy from winning this award. It is lovely to be recognised, but definitely a group effort from all those at @ICClimited who have played their part in growing our housing mission. And I wouldn't be here without the many authentic leaders I have learned from over the years.

Really exciting to have these three brilliant women joining our leadership team. Looking forward to learning from them and doing great work together

Such brilliant news. As a local resident I know first hand some of the great activities and services the Selby Centre provides. Now the hard work to deliver the plans begins!
