#MHCLG and #HomesEngland have worked hand in hand since the election to develop the key concepts, outline the risks, the opportunities and the potential routes forward to help advise the Minister and Government on the next generation of #NewTowns. It's amazing how much expertise sits in both organisations which has helped to underpin the journey so far. This isn't any flight of fancy - this is an amazing future and real delivery on a scale we have not seen for a generation. I'm so glad to see this finally launch in #Stevenage, and Sir Michael Lyons and Dame Kate Barker will be brilliant in leading this. Whilst there were many hands helping bring it to this point, Julia Krause and John Whetstone MRICS have played a critical role and been amazing. Biased, I know, given they are on my team! #HomesEngland have played a critical role in the current generation of large scale delivery, from #HarlowandGilston to #MeridianWater and beyond. Now we'll be bringing our unmatched expertise in funding, infrastructure, delivery and placemaking to support this transformational programme. Personally, living in a town that has over 8,000 homes underway that will double it's size, and minutes from Urban&Civic's Tempsford scheme, this is both incredibly exciting and reassuring. It's the real change we have been asking for - from sporadic development often delivered through Appeal decision, to thought out, connected, planned settlements our kids will be proud to live in. I urge everyone to read the press release and forthcoming documents. Critical is the first bullet point about the work plan. It confirms over the next 12 months the Taskforce will be "Meeting with new and existing communities to hear first-hand about the design of desirable developments". That's where the work starts and tells you how much this isn't about numbers but about you, and me, and the people we care about. Let's make this brilliant. #WeAreHomesEngland #NewTowns #delivery #regeneration #development #planning #housing
