From Cllr. Lambert's newsletter this week:
"As is so often the case with surgeries, most of the issues were about housing, all stemming from the dire shortage of social rented housing round here and the fact that such ‘affordable’ housing as there is, is not affordable to people in ordinary jobs (including junior professionals and managers). This issue has been completely neglected by the Mayor over the last eight years and is one of the main reasons why we really need to get Sadiq Khan elected on May 5th, though it will take years to reverse the problem, especially if the awful housing bill gets through Parliament."
So just what have/are Hounslow Council doing - seems a bit much to blame everything on the Mayor - although he hasn't helped one bit - but for a council prepared to oversee the complete gentrification of Brentford - and not a mention of any social housing anywhere it's a bit rich to say the least.
