What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced the Your First Home scheme, which is designed to support first-time buyers purchasing new build homes. The industry welcomed the announcement, stating it offers hope for the building materials sector after years of low demand. However, the BMF noted that its own sector has been in a four-year decline, during which 18 of its members have gone out of business, leading to the loss of 1,197 jobs.
