Great video. The homes are thoughtful, attractive and well designed. Khan is eloquent and considerate. Much more like this please.
A real pleasure to meet George Clarke 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 everyone.
