Context
Cornwall has been given an ambitious annual target of 4,400 homes. There are 25,000 families on the housing waiting list.
What steps is the Secretary of State taking to support the building of social housing in rural towns and villages? Cornwall faces a significant challenge with 25,000 families on the housing waiting list. Many constituents have been left without necessary infrastructure due to developers going into liquidation before fulfilling their commitments.
I certainly recognise the problem described by the hon. Member; it is an issue in North Cornwall and right across the country. The government is looking at how we can strengthen enforcement so that commitments made are delivered on, and local communities are not left high and dry without vital infrastructure.
