What happened

Well supportedReported by 11 independent outlets

The government announced a £210 million package intended to transform derelict shops and cinemas across England into community hubs and shared workspaces. This funding includes a £125 million Derelict Buildings Fund and a £65 million fund for community ownership of at-risk buildings. Separately, a report found that Andy Burnham's goal of building 300,000 council homes by 2036 would cost £47 billion, exceeding the current £39 billion funding available for the Social and Affordable Homes Programme.
