The view from one of our 1,000 new council homes (all at council rent). We're one of the top council house builders in the country. But we're building homes, not housing. That means low carbon, lifelong community hubs, with views like these. 🌹

A real pleasure to meet @MrGeorgeClarke and hear about his experiences growing up on a council estate. We both know the positive impact social housing can have on families’ lives. That’s why I’m determined to continue delivering more council homes as we build a fairer London for

So good to see my absolute faves White Lies bring all the drama and melancholy to the Roundhouse last night. 🖤 Trying not to think too much about it being *17 years* since they released To Lose My Life… 🫣

Beautifully designed council homes in Haringey. All of the homes are Passivhaus standard, making them super energy-efficient. They’re part of the 1,000 new council homes delivered by the borough, with support from City Hall funding.

These are high quality council homes - great to talk to residents whose lives have been transformed by having a safe, good and permanent home. Well done @haringeycouncil @perayahmet and @MayorofLondon !
A secure, decent home - that’s what every family deserves. In London, we're delivering the highest number of council homes since the 1970s. Today I visited these beautiful, brand-new, high-quality council homes in Haringey.

This week, acting under delegated authority of @MayorofLondon, I called in the proposed scheme at High Barnet Place. London needs more homes, and the Mayor is committed to boosting housing delivery across the capital. That is why I called in this scheme for further consideration.

This is such sad, devastating news. I can’t quite believe it.

Huge credit to @perayahmet for her leadership, and to the amazing development team at @haringeycouncil, which is one of City Hall’s top council housing delivery partners. Across London more than 25,000 new council homes have been built or are underway since 2018.

It was a joy to visit Wingspan Walk today where @haringeycouncil have built 272 brand new council homes. All the homes are Passivhaus - super energy efficient. They’re some of the 1000 new council homes the borough has built, supported with funding from the @MayorofLondon.

Let me be clear: if you steal from London’s tradespeople, you will be brought to justice. With City Hall backing, the Met is cracking down on theft - protecting livelihoods, catching offenders and keeping Londoners safe.
Police officers have recovered £2 million worth of stolen tools from a warehouse in Ilford believed to be the largest haul ever found in the UK. Three suspects have been arrested, suspected of running an organised criminal network selling stolen equipment.
