Royal Borough of Greenwich is asking residents for views on its draft Housing and Homelessness Strategy, a blueprint of its housing commitments up to 2032. The consultation closes at 11.59pm on 20 December.
The draft commitments cover ending rough sleeping, support for people with specific housing needs, safe and sustainable homes, and the make-up of neighbourhoods. Replies can be made online, by email, by phone on 020 8921 5161, in writing to the Housing Strategy and Policy Team at the Woolwich Centre, or on paper copies from any borough library. The final strategy is due in early 2027.
Housing is where Greenwich is most visibly tested. Commitments are cheap; the question to put to the council is how many homes, and by when.
