Council leader Sir Richard Leese said: “This is an investment from the council in affordable housing.
How on earth can 6 3 bedroom houses make even a token dent in the queue of people waiting for social housing, which at the last count was about 30,000 people on the housing queue, of which 20,000 (Yes twenty thousand) are families in need of housing. If they wanted to stimulate the housing market, then they should be looking at using the brownfield sites and stopping the development of blocks and blocks of offices and apartments, using the land for houses instead.
