Great Yarmouth Borough Council’s Post

I always enjoy time with thought-provoking Ealing Council (London Borough of Ealing) leader Peter Mason. Among the items covered in this 20-minute look at the local politics of delivering 1.5M New Homes, are Local Plans, and how effective they are at giving people the sense they are involved in shaping change. "Dry strategic documents can be things that turn people off," Peter acknowledges. They have to be imbued with a "vision for the future, a sense of security, about how their community is going to change, what they can expect by way of economic growth, housing growth, investment in schools and parks and open spaces". "If you can bring the detail of technocratic language into some clear concepts of how change is going to happen, you can get involvement." That and lots more below...

We need a fundamental change and ambition which can only be delivered through hard-wiring a legal commitment to providing housing as a human right. https://lnkd.in/eDFe8hi7

A huge thanks to Jo Leckie 🌟 (Assoc CIPD, Cert CIH) for hosting our first Community Housing Roundtable in Australia this morning! With key speakers Janine Green and Ben Hunt discussing the hot topic of anti-social behaviour (ASB), there were some fabulous insights. Some key takeaways for those who were unable to join (you can also watch the recording): 💡 Stop and think before applying ASB tools to all issues and neighbour complaints. By applying the wrong approach to non-ASB issues you might invertedly be exacerbating the issue for all involved and creating ASB issues which didn't exist before. Well said Janine Green! 💡 By having the right ASB tools in place, you might see an increase in reports by making it easier and more accessible for residents to report their issues but often they can be resolved quicker if you're collecting the right information. Thanks for sharing your ASB App and REACT platforms with us Ben Hunt!

Today we’re talking about the local politics of delivering new homes, with Ealing Council (London Borough of Ealing) leader, councillor Peter Mason. Describing the challenges facing London in the 1940s (air quality, long commutes, and tall buildings rising on the skyline of an increasingly crowded city) He says: "They were dealing with some of the same challenges we have now. The answer for them was new towns.” Along with housebuilding in the context of regional planning, industrial strategy and creating a fairer national economy, we also talk about what communities want from growth, and Local Plans and estate ballots as mechanisms for getting it. "If we can give people the sense that their community is changing in a positive way, and that they're moving forward in their lives and their children are moving forward, we can unlock some of this ‘for and against’ mentality."
