Kensington and Chelsea Social Council to host, a really hot ticket event:
What do new - s t r e t c h e d - targets mean for the borough.
Housing has never been more urgent, controversial, and divisive. As the new Labour Government ramps up housing targets across the UK, the target for RBKC has been increased by a staggering tenfold. This is a golden opportunity to address the concerns and aspirations of our community, but also a worrying development that could shape the future of our borough for years to come.
Join us for a crucial discussion where leading voices will tackle this issue head-on, separate fact from fiction, and debate how we can face this challenge together.
6 March, 6pm - 8pm
Bay 20
Chaired by Joe Batty (KCSC), the panel includes:
- Paul Kershaw of SHAC – Advocating for the future of social housing
- Richard Lee, Just Space – Fighting for fair and inclusive housing policy
- Preeti Gulati & Robert Sheppard, RBKC – The local authority’s perspective
- Moyra Samuels, Home for All – Championing housing justice
- A representative from Public Interest Law Centre (speaker TBC) – A voice for legal advocacy and community protection
The evening will kick off with Richard Lee and Joe Batty unveiling their Report on the New Local Plan, outlining the dramatic implications of these new housing targets.
Don’t miss this chance to understand the full scope of this housing revolution – and the potential impact on our homes and lives.
