Clarion Housing Calls on New PM Andy Burnham to Prioritise Good Homes

This sponsored article from Clarion Housing, published on LabourList, welcomes Andy Burnham as he enters Downing Street as Prime Minister. It highlights his previous pledge to launch the biggest council housebuilding programme since the post-war period and his collaboration with Clarion on the regeneration of the former Boddingtons factory site in Manchester, which will provide the first new social rent homes in the city centre in 40 years. The piece argues that good homes are foundational to national health, strong communities, and rising living standards. Clarion positions itself as a strategic partner, noting its delivery of a third of all new affordable homes in London and its pipeline of over 22,800 homes. It calls on the new government to provide long-term certainty, flexibility, and to treat housing associations as key partners to address the housing crisis.
