Following successful pilots in Greater Manchester and South Essex, our Strategic Place Partnership will deliver affordable, sustainable homes in fifteen areas across five districts, including house building schemes in Bradford City Village, Leeds City Rim, Dewsbury Riverside, Brighouse and Castleford.
In total, the partnership will allow us to boost the delivery of 38,000 new homes across West Yorkshire. That we were able to secure this special partnership with Homes England – the national housing and regeneration agency – is a testament to the scale of our ambition and the enormous potential for economic growth in West Yorkshire.
Because good quality housing is just one piece of the puzzle. When you combine it with reliable and affordable public transport, locally designed skills training for well paid jobs, a vibrant cultural offer, safer streets for women and girls and a greener environment for all, you end up building a more vibrant West Yorkshire that works for everyone.
That’s my ambition for our region. And with further devolution, we could do so much more. That’s why I’m putting forward the case to the Government for a new, deeper and wider “trailblazer” devolution deal for our region – one that gives us the power, funding and flexibility to deliver more affordable homes and determine our own destiny.
