EG (£) “At the service, Berkeley chief executive Rob Perrins led tributes to Pidgley. Boris Johnson gave a reading from Corinthians, while among other readers and those paying tribute was Lord Kerslake, former head of the civil service.” Quite an event. egi.co.uk/news/industry-gath…

Young people are the beating heart of this Country. 📕Our research tells us that owning a home is a key aspiration in life for most young people. It is important that the Government now acts to make this a reality. #homeownership #citymakers

It was a pleasure to meet with such engaging pupils from #MariaFidelisCatholicSchool. Our younger generation are the future and it was great to get their questions on entrepreneurship and why getting the right mix of housing into the UK is such a challenge. @speakrs4schools

Croydon is the 4th most affordable borough in London for first time buyers. Here's @Pocket_Living Development Director Thomasin Renshaw talking about our #AddiscombeGrove development, as well as the opportunities within the area. #affordablehousing #firsttimebuyers

The 15-minute city is opened up with the bicycle and coming out of East Croydon station it does feel a little difficult to navigate. We’d like to see more investment in cycle lanes. Thomasin Renshaw, Development Director @Pocket_Living #DevelopCroydonConference

Marc CEO @Pocket_Living urges @michaelgove to think about the housing offer for young people who keep cities vibrant. Our research shows that 62% of young London renters don't want to leave the city to buy but only 2 in 10 are able to save for a deposit

Conclusions: it's time to reframe the planning debate to have a constructive conversation about how we build more and show the benefits for the community. Lots of agreement that now is the time to unlock delivery of all tenures and open up home ownership @Pocket_Living @Demos
