Public Housing in Barnet?
The shortage of social and affordable housing is one of the most pressing problems facing our communities. Is council housing the answer to the crisis? What can councils do to tackle the housing shortage? What should Londoners expect? What’s the solution: housing associations? housing co-ops? mutuals? self-builds?

Working in groups, this is an opportunity for you to give your views of what needs to be done and by whom.
