This is not just about green targets. The bigger problem is the electorate, local councillors and MPs have no control over housing policy, how much is spent and what the money is spent on. Margaret Thatcher introduced anti democratic policy re housing by handing power to the Housing Corporation – a quango, she created. Decision making on housing has been opaque for nearly three decades not just in RBKC but across the British Isles.

Good luck Angela Rayner on prosecuting those who are accountable for decision making in local authorities – it is not clear and hasn’t been for a very long time.
