It has been revealed today that the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, plans to cut thousands of homes from Old Oak Common in West London due to funding issues.
Shaun Bailey AM, Chairman of the London Assembly Regeneration Committee, said:
“This is devastating news for Londoners. More than ever, the capital is in desperate need of more housing.
“The plans for thousands of homes to be built in Old Oak Common were eagerly anticipated and many people were looking forward to seeing them materialise.
“One of the reasons the Mayor was elected was his huge and ambitious plans to build more affordable homes. Londoners now need to see these plans come to fruition.
“The Regeneration Committee will continue to keep a close eye on developments.”
