Mayor under fire over housing figures

A new report has revealed that only 2,400 affordable homes were built in London in the first six months of this year, below Mayor Sadiq Khan’s 14,000 target. The London Assembly’s annual affordable housing monitor also claims that in 2016-17, some 41,300 homes were added to housing stock – short of the 66,000 target. A spokesperson for the Mayor branded the report "nonsense", adding: “In reality, Sadiq Khan has exceeded all his housing targets and is building a record number of social and affordable homes.”
