Major housing demonstration to call for ‘end to crisis’

An assortment of organisations including homelessness charities, social and private landlords, developers, ARLA, the RICS and Countrywide, are backing a major demonstration.

Touted as the “biggest housing rally in a generation”, the event is being organised by campaign group Homes for Britain.

The aim is for 2,500 people to rally in Westminster, calling for the end of the “housing crisis within a generation”.

Organisations involved in the campaign group include the National Housing Federation, Chartered Institute of Housing, Crisis, Home Builders Federation, National House Building Council, Royal Institute of British Architects, Residential Landlords Association, the Royal Town Planning Institute, Shelter, Mears, Countrywide, National Federation of ALMOs, Homeless Link, Citizens Advice Bureau, Federation of Master Builders, Generation Rent, Joseph Rowntree Foundation, ARLA and RICS.

The rally is on March 17 between 2.30 and 5.30pm.

Some of the participants will be walking, running or cycling to the rally from places as far afield as Land’s End and Yorkshire.

    The real people who should be demonstrating are those that are in need, not those organisations that hope to profit from it.

    Thank you Eye – this is the first I’m hearing of this.  (Perhaps I missed it in a previous Arla bulletin.)  Good to see so many in our industry working together on something.
