Housing crisis: what next for London?

In the immediate aftermath of the General Election, we ask what needs to happen to tackle the housing crisis and what does London need the new Government to do? With the crisis is deepening by the day, consensus is building around the need to ‘build social’, regulate the private rented sector and more. This event is run by Just Space and CPRE London who have recently jointly published an Action Plan for the Housing Crisis.
