Homes for London campaign

Further to the last post on the disgraceful costs of renting or buying a home in London, Shelter's campaign  - Homes for London - is worth highlighting.

Aside from their valuable research into the astronomical costs of living in the capital, they are doing an excellent job at lobbying the Mayor and the Government.

Although it is unlikely that a Tory-dominated parliament or a Conservative Mayor would have much incentive to remedy a situation that is likely to make London are more Tory-dominated city, it is the work of charities like Shelter that keeps the issue in the media and on peoples' mind.

An earlier post on this blog collated some other shocking statistics about the woeful state London now finds itself in on this issue.
