Statement from Hounslow Council on grant funding allocation for housing pledge

Councillor Steve Curran, Leader of Hounslow Council, said: “The Mayor of London’s announcement of allocating £63m to Hounslow Council as part of its ‘Building Council Homes for Londoners’ grant funding is great news for Hounslow. It’s good news for our residents, communities and for the Council’s house building programme. This will give Hounslow a massive boost and greater certainty for delivering our housing pledge of building 5,000 new homes by 2022. The funding will provide 1,000 new Council homes for local people to reduce the number of people on our housing waiting list and achieve our goal of delivering good quality homes for our residents.”
