“We would like to welcome Mr Reed to the role of Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government. It is important that this appointment has been made swiftly to avoid uncertainty for the sector.
“The government’s ambitious targets and strong investment in affordable housing have played a crucial role in enabling housing providers like Stonewater to plan confidently for the long term. These commitments have underpinned our ability to deliver large-scale development programmes and invest in sustainable retrofit projects that help our customers reduce energy bills and live more sustainably.
“It is essential that these commitments remain firm. Continued clarity and consistency from government will be key to maintaining momentum and ensuring the sector can keep delivering the homes and support our communities need.
"We look forward to continuing to work with Mr Reed and the wider government to meet these goals. Stonewater continues to stand ready to support the government in achieving its ambitious housing targets and ensuring people across the country have safe, sustainable homes that enable them to thrive.”
