Labour’s cheek is breathtaking

Commenting on the news that the Government is to build 160,000 new homes in the Thames Gateway, Shadow Local Government Minister, Alistair Burt, said:

“Labour’s cheek is breathtaking. With no hint of an apology for the recent devastating criticism of years of mismanagement and failed delivery here is another example of top down heavy handed management.

“Thames Gateway Communities have heard a lot about aspiration and vision but they deserve to see a lot more delivered than this Government has promised. This smokescreen will sadly be seen for what it is.”
