Right-to-buy could see London lose “swathes of social housing”

31st July 2015

The leader of Westminster City Council, Philippa Roe, has warned that the extended right-to-buy scheme could strip the capital of “huge swathes of social housing”. Ms Roe said: “What we will see is a reduction in the number of social housing units in London and more units built outside. But the crisis in housing is inside London. So it is absolutely vital that the proceeds of right-to-buy from London are kept in London.”
