> Reed will tell delegates that the project is modelled on the “housing boom” overseen by Clement Attlee’s postwar Labour government, which built more than one million homes between 1945 and 1951. Reed’s project will rely on public and private funding but the total anticipated cost is unclear. The taskforce is expected to say that, collectively, the new towns could deliver “up to 300,000” homes over the “coming decades”.
It’s nice to have a government that has the appetite and vision to build some actual houses.
Watch this story gain 0 momentum because its a positive policy that is attempting to take pressure off the housing crisis. People just love to hate these days.
Well we do need somewhere to house the 1.2 million migrants that came to the UK last year 😀

Going to need this given the recent news on population growth! 📈
Nice. can’t wait to see Blackstone and Lloyd’s buy them all up
40 new hospitals, 12 new towns, 2 high speed rail tracks and a partridge in a pear tree.
Some good news! New Towns revitalised the country just after WW2 and could do so again.
I’m cautious around building too many new towns though as a repeated cycle— we should also be looking at recycling brownfield sites and other urban decayed areas.
Wanna keep some of our countryside intact, after all.
I always wonder how such plans will work with an ageing population.
Labour called for 5000 houses to house around 20000 asylum seekers.
This was debunked as false.
Let’s be realistic here…. I don’t think it was false. And these towns? This is genuinely worrying.

„Decades“
300k is a mid sized town, split that over 10 that’s a large village of 30k.
A country like egypt, China, Brazil, etc would build this and more by the end of this decade. Why is it that a first world superpower like the UK can’t do the? same
How many of these are going to be council houses, though? Better yet, how many are going to be council homes that don’t have bidding priority for pensioners?
New build studio apartments in my town charge 1200pcm+ rent and are thrown into the highest council tax band, yet I don’t even live in London…
I really hope these towns are built with pedestrianisation in mind: plazas, cycle paths, parks, pedestrian only high streets etc.
