Speaking in the House of Commons on 7 September 2026

Debate

Housing: Stockport

Contribution

I congratulate my good friend the Secretary of State and the Ministers on their appointments. As a fellow Stopfordian, she knows Stockport well. In Stockport, nearly 10,000 households are on the waiting list for housing, and Stockport council has spent more than £2 million on temporary hotel accommodation for people who have nowhere else to go. Stockport also has one of the highest levels of residential tower blocks in Great Manchester. Many residents are living in ageing high-rise homes, including those in Lancashire Hill in my constituency, and they are raising serious concerns with me about the condition of their housing and their flats. Will the Secretary of State set out how her Department will support councils not only to build new social homes in our communities, but to invest in and protect existing housing stock, so that everyone has a safe, decent home to go to?
