Mayor’s housing chief soothes fears

1st July 2016

London’s deputy mayor for housing James Murray has tried to calm industry nerves amid fears the EU referendum result could slow down house-building long term, worsening the housing crisis. Mr Murray told the London Assembly that he hoped to boost confidence at a City Hall meeting with major developers and housing associations next week. He called for London to secure a "substantial" affordable housing settlement from government for new housing, and more control over property taxes and planning.
