Received a report introducing the London Housing Board’s draft consultation paper ‘London Housing Strategy 2005 - 2016’ which will inform future housing policy and drive the allocation of future housing capital finance across London.

Agreed, in order to influence the next London Housing Strategy to better address the housing and regeneration issues facing East London and in particular, Barking and Dagenham, to:

1.  The response to the draft London Housing Strategy, attached as Appendix B to the report, which endorses the East London Housing Partnership paper with the added specific comments in paragraph 3 of the report; and

2.  Note the implications of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister’s proposals on the regional allocation of future housing investment and endorse the proposed response as set out in paragraph 5 of the report.
