Mayor Craig’s 50K Home Plan | UK News

Mayor Bev Craig is launching a bold plan to build 50,000 affordable homes across Greater Manchester by 2039, with 10,000 already underway—using disused public land through a new “Public Sector Land Bank” to speed things up. She’s calling it a “golden era” for council and social housing, backed by £1.8 billion in national grants, and is urging other government bodies to join the effort. While builders welcome the push, they warn past attempts stalled when land wasn’t offered at viable prices—but agree this could spark economic growth and tackle the national housing crisis head-on.
