Our city, like many across the country, has a growing demand for affordable housing.
We have embarked on an ambitious programme to deliver a programme of additional new council homes by 2029 – a combination of new builds and purchased properties. Our aim is to provide more choice of good quality and affordable homes for current residents and those who choose to live and work here in the future.
We are building new, environmentally friendly council properties where we know there is high demand for housing.
