Wales set to build 20,000 low-carbon social homes

I’d love to build an eco-friendly house one day :003:

Plans to build 20,000 low-carbon social homes for rent in Wales by 2026 have been set out by the Welsh government’s climate change minister.

The hope is to tackle both a housing shortage and the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Housing associations say it could lead to thousands of jobs and training opportunities.

But the Welsh government’s opponents have said they would have gone further and built more.

I agree^^ they should have built more!

HaHa perhaps the opponents can ask again after the first 20,000 have been built.

They should indeed be planning more - far more.
20,000 in five years is laughable TBH when the population growth is currently 8.2% with over 3.1 million resident in Wales already.
That 20,000 social homes will hardly scratch the surface, though the intentions might be good.
