On Wednesday I was back with my Southwark Council team, celebrating the Securing the Future of Council Housing being shortlisted for the LGC's Campaign of the Year!

And what a day for it - the Chancellor's social housing investment was yet another HUGE win for our campaign to #SaveCouncilHousing 🎉🏘️

Thursday saw our packed Securing the Future of Council Housing Summit with the Housing Minister - which felt like a culmination of 15 months’ work to #SaveCouncilHousing. But it was also my last day at Southwark Council!

Thank you to my team for the most lovely send off. Exciting next steps ahead…

At our packed summit with @sheffcitycouncil.bsky.social.

Very proud to hear Matthew Pennycook say how helpful @lb-southwark.bsky.social’s Securing the Future of Council Housing coalition and landmark report has been. Glad the government is paying attention to our solutions to #SaveCouncilHousing

At our Securing the Future of Council Housing Summit with councils from across England.

Fantastic to hear Housing Minister, Matthew Pennycook, acknowledge that the government will need to go further than the proposed 5-year social rent settlement to stabilise HRAs 👀. #SaveCouncilHousing

Over the moon that our Securing the Future of Council Housing campaign has been shortlisted for LGC Awards Campaign of the Year!! 🎉🎉🎉

A huge effort from all the team @lb-southwark.bsky.social and reliant on incredible engagement from our 109 partner councils & allies. #SaveCouncilHousing #LGCAwards

Council housing budgets are on the brink and supply is at risk.

Our survey of councils from across England found the majority needing to cancel new builds, delay maintenance or even sell off council homes.

Great hearing two of my old JRF colleagues on this #IGConf24 panel.

@dantomlinson.bsky.social says growth is critical to deliver the progressive policy change and income increases that will benefit families. (1/4)

Rayner genuinely understands the value of council housing.

But if she wants more families to have a truly secure home, she must first acknowledge that council’s deal with government has been completely broken and agree a new, sustainable model.
