The Prime Minister has set out her plan to help people achieve ‘the British dream’ in her speech to the Conservative party conference.
The Prime Minister explicitly referenced the importance of the north’s industrial heritage – stating ‘Cities like Manchester were the pioneers that fired the industrial revolution, helping to make Britain the workshop of the world. And it’s this heritage that means today we export to and trade with nations in every corner of the globe’. Heritage is integral to this international soft power and a prime reason why tourists visit our country.
The Prime Minister committed herself to fixing the broken housing market and stressed the proposals in the Housing White Paper to ensure councils release more land and to ensure that developers build homes once given planning permission. She announced a further £2bn for a “new generation” of council houses and affordable homes for rent.
