Angela Rayner has insisted that councils must meet the government's housing targets, emphasizing the urgent need to address the housing crisis in England, regardless of local concerns.
Councils across the political spectrum are concerned that the mandatory housing targets may not be achievable, citing issues like infrastructure strain and land shortages as significant obstacles.
The government's housing secretary stated that while the targets are mandatory, the administration is willing to collaborate with councils to ensure necessary homes are built.
Rayner pointed to increased funding for affordable homes as a sign of government support, despite widespread skepticism from local authorities about the practicality of the imposed targets.
