It's all part of Labour's plans for government, should they win the election
A ‘generation of new towns’ modelled on areas including Hale will be built if Labour wins the next election, according Angela Rayner. The party’s deputy leader was setting out her party’s plans at the UK Real Estate, Investment & Infrastructure Forum in Leeds on Tuesday .
To achieve that, Labour will embark on a huge programme of building new towns — akin to the post-war boom — in ‘the right locations’ because ‘what works in Stockton might not work in Southampton’, she added.And after establishing ‘an expert independent task force’ to select ‘the right locations’ for the new towns within 12 months of Keir Starmer coming to office, the MP promised the settlements will be ‘inspired’ by Greater Manchester’s swankiest suburb.
“We will set out a new towns code more social and affordable homes with a gold standard of 40 percent target. good links to town and city centres with public transport to schools and GP surgeries, and access to nature.”
