  • Sir Keir Starmer has vowed to usher in a " new golden era of building " as he takes aim at "blockers and bureaucrats" who he claims have throttled economic growth and made homeownership unattainable.

The article from The Independent discusses Labour Party leader Keir Starmer's plans to address the UK's infrastructure and environmental challenges. Starmer has pledged to build a "new generation" of towns and homes, focusing on sustainable development and infrastructure improvements. He aims to tackle the housing crisis by constructing new homes with better planning and infrastructure, ensuring they are built in the right places with necessary amenities like transport links, schools, and GP surgeries. Additionally, Starmer emphasizes the importance of environmental considerations, promising that new developments will not come at the expense of green spaces. He also criticizes the current government's approach to infrastructure, particularly highlighting the issues with the HS2 rail project, and commits to a more strategic and less disruptive approach to national infrastructure projects. This includes ensuring that projects like HS2 deliver value for money and are completed efficiently.
