City Hall says one of its goals to help ease London’s housing crisis is to bring empty properties back into use.

According to the GLA, almost 60,000 affordable homes have been completed in the capital since Sadiq Khan was first elected in 2016.

Tom Copley is Deputy Mayor of London for Housing and Residential Development.

Speaking to Jackie News in Worcester Park, he says although repurposing empty homes won’t solve the crisis, it’s a start.
