A number of Midlands councils are joining a cross-party coalition of more than 100 council landlords, to publish five solutions for the government to ‘secure the future of England’s council housing’.

Led by Southwark Council, the coalition will launch the Future Council Housing report to urge the government to deliver its housing promises and fix the council housing system at an event held in Westminster today (Sep 3).

Birmingham City Council, Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, Leicester City Council, Nottingham City Council, Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council and the City of Wolverhampton Council joined 16 other councils to publish an interim summary of their recommendations in July.

An urgent meeting was then held with the Deputy Prime Minister and another 80 councils backed their recommendations and signed the final report.
