Great to hear from residents about the difference the new homes at Sugar Hill have made to them👇
And the final stop of the day is Sugar Hill Close in Oulton. @leedsfederated have replaced 1940s prefabricated Airey homes, with much-needed affordable housing. We met two of the former residents who had just moved into their brand new home on the estate. @mhclg @WYHousing

Was pleased to be able to talk with @jamesriding10 about what matters to PlaceShapers.
“You’re not necessarily big nationally, but you’re big locally,” explains @MatthewLeedsFed. Why the benefits of a more local approach appear clearer now... Thanks @jamesriding10 for visiting @leedsfederated to see #Placeshapers regeneration first hand. https://t.co/rJV7ZPPGpe

Visited #stokeontrent? @MatthewLeedsFed hadn't until a trip to see the inspiring work of @honeycombgrp. @cllr_carl showed the vision for regeneration and joint work with housing associations; huge ambition, grounded in the interests of the people of Stoke. https://t.co/Ah4DiKkmPD

👋🏽.@GavinSmartCIH "...investment in building more affordable, energy efficient homes and improve the quality and insulation of existing homes, all of which will add to the Govt’s growth agenda.” 👋🏽.@MatthewLeedsFed “Growth cannot be at the expense of those who are struggling."
Sector bodies have written to DLUHC and DWP to set out five measures that would support the new Chancellor’s commitment to take care of the most vulnerable and not have growth happen at the "expense of those who are struggling". https://t.co/urpVVqZSGW

Yet more evidence of the huge impacts cutting social security payments would have. We urgently need to protect families who need it most, not make things worse #FixThisCrisis

Linking with pay rather than inflation would leave households worse off – but ministers must get measure past their own MPs

Liz Truss today addresses #CPC2022. Gail's story shows why benefits must be increased in line with inflation. At 63, living alone, with ill health: "I had always worked and lived a modest lifestyle." .@leedsfederated supports Gail but Govt must do more. https://t.co/uDZJVw7jlV

Gail, a 63 year old Leeds Federated tenant, explains: "This time last year I was putting £40pm each on my gas and electric meters and now I am putting £100 per month on my electricity alone."
