As the date for the Mayor of London elections fast approaches, our city’s chronic housing crisis has been highlighted as the second-most important issue for citizens, with homelessness also cited as a leading concern according to a new survey conducted by well-respected pollsters Survation on behalf of London Real.
 
The results show that while crime is the number one priority for almost a third of respondents, housing is a clear second, with 13% suggesting that it is the most important issue. A further 10% listed homelessness as their top issue, placing it fourth in the list of priorities just below job creation on 11.5%.
 
As the leading independent candidate for the upcoming election, I believe that voter concerns about housing and homelessness need addressing, and fast.
 
The lack of housing in London is an economic brake on the city and a shameful moral stain on the politicians who have failed to address this problem.
 
In particular, Sadiq Khan should be held to account. Way back in 2016, his manifesto stated that his “single biggest priority” would be building “thousands more homes every year”.
 
By 2021, the current mayor had started barely half of the housing he had promised to deliver, and had completed only 16,700. Fast-forward to 2024 and now his big promise has been scaled back to 40,000 more council homes by the end of the decade. All while Londoners are struggling to find affordable homes.
 
It’s why my manifesto includes a pledge to build 50,000 affordable modular homes by Christmas 2024 using TfL land. Voters are crying out for help when it comes to housing issues, be that private-sector, affordable or accommodation for those without a permanent home.
 
Our capital is in dire need of fresh new leadership, with a fresh new approach. My plans to utilise modular construction technology to create desirable family homes within walking distance of transport hubs represents an innovative vision for our city and can deliver real change to London’s broken housing sector.
 
And, unlike Sadiq Khan, I intend to keep my promises.
