Angela Rayner has told LBC the government is 'spending billions keeping people homeless' in temporary housing, as Labour announced it's plans to reduce planning red tape. Labour said on Sunday that it will stop council planning committees from blocking development which meet local plan requirements, the Deputy PM announced.
"There are elements of the Leasehold Bill that they produced that we're trying to take forward but we will end that by the end of this Parliament because we do understand the issues around service charge and leasehold is basically leaving people held to ransom."The pledge to reduce planning restrictions was reiterated at Starmer's press conference laying out his plan to meet his manifesto targets last week.
