How 32,000 homes from Boris Johnson became 1,431

19 May 2011 + 3 , , , ,

During the London Mayor election Boris Johnson talked about how land owned by the London Development Agency could be used to provide 32,000 new affordable homes. But three years on a mere 1,431 have been built.

Ealing Lib Dem councillor Gary Malcolm has more on the story over on his blog, including this quote from London Assembly member Mike Tuffrey:

The Mayor has completely failed Londoners by not delivering the promised mechanism to unlock these sites, and is now saying it may not even go ahead at all.   There is a huge chasm between what the Mayor said was possible and what actually has been achieved.
