This week was a genuinely proud moment for Haringey Council.

Under this Labour administration, we’ve now delivered over 1,000 new council homes — in fact, more than 1,300 and counting. 🙌

Dana and I were really pleased to be there to mark the occasion alongside our Leader Peray Ahmet, the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, our MP Catherine West, and George Clarke — all recognising just how significant this milestone is. 💚

We said we would — and we did 💪

Back in 2022, we made a clear promise to residents:we would take on the housing crisis and fight it tooth and nail.

Because we see the reality every day — families stuck in temporary accommodation, overcrowded homes, people priced out of the communities they grew up in.

That needed action. So we got on with it.

Today, Haringey has one of the largest council housebuilding programmes in the country — the third biggest — and we are firmly on track to deliver 3,000 council homes by 2030. 📈

Homes that are genuinely built for the future 🏡✨

What makes this even more special is the quality.

These aren’t just new homes — they are Passivhaus standard, designed to be energy efficient, affordable to run, and built to last.

That means warmer homes, lower bills, and a better deal for residents — especially at a time when the cost of living is hitting hard. 💷

It’s exactly why George Clarke joined the visit — because this is what good council housing should look like in 2026.

This is what Labour delivery looks like 🌹

Developments like Wingspan Walk are turning unused land into real communities — with green spaces, high-quality homes, and long-term security for families.

This didn’t happen by chance.

It’s the result of political choices:

👉 choosing to invest

👉 choosing to build at council rent

👉 choosing to prioritise residents

And we’re not done yet ⚠️

We’re proud of this milestone — but we know the job isn’t finished.

Too many people are still waiting for a safe, secure home. The housing crisis is still biting hard.

So we’ll keep going — building more homes, improving standards, and making sure Hornsey remains a place people can afford to live and thrive.

We listened. We promised. We delivered.

And we’re just getting started. 🚀
