It was great to meet with the Mayor of the North East, Kim McGuinness, at the North East Housing Partnership board meeting earlier. We have been able to meet her on several occasions over the past 6 months, but it was fantastic to hear more detail about her ambitions for the region and the work she has been doing to change things on a national level to make it easier for us in the region. With greater devolution of funding to come over the next few years, including a single integrated settlement for the North East in 2026/27, it is an important time for the region to get together and prepare for the future, and this morning the board was able to discuss what collaboration we were already doing and potential further opportunities. We are committed to continuing working closely with Kim, The North East Combined Authority and collaborating with other willing partners and with the right support, we can go further and faster.

2moOur Constructing Excellence in the North East Value Theme Group has just published a blog following our recent Stopping the Race to the Bottom event, which looks at how we are leaching the latent value of our supply chains in construction; link below. But a settlement that operates at scale, is determined locally and takes a long term view is a great starting point in developing much better construction outcomes in a housing context. Happy to talk!
