Jake Short: How we are delivering new homes

Every day we hear from people at the sharp end of the housing crisis.

Families are being squeezed by unaffordable rents, unscrupulous landlords are evicting tenants using unfair Section 21 notices, and older or disabled residents are living in homes that are not suitable for their needs.

Over 1,000 local families are stuck in temporary accommodation far away from their friends, work and school.

In this video you'll see how Liberal Democrat run Sutton Council is taking action.

We're building genuinely affordable, high-quality, energy-efficient homes for local families.

Sutton is leading the way by making smart use of available brownfield sites and providing good paying local jobs and apprenticeships.

We are committed to meeting the needs of our community by building the right homes, in the right places.
