Housing and Local Government
[Commentary on rural England accuses rural council inaction as a primary cause of poor housing, despite a legal requirement that councils respond to local needs. The accusation of vested interests hangs in the air, with rural districts providing fewer council homes than urban areas. Asking if this was because rural leaders lacked awareness of demand, it is concluded that this interpretation is untenable. Councils received many requests for more dwellings and had applicant lists revealing dissonance between the demand for and the supply of council dwellings, which grew over time. The question of whether councils needed to act, given landed estates provided many homes, is raised. Some estates did assist council-building through land grants and the like but their own contribution to the housing stock declined. Indeed, demand from other employers increased, providing even more need for council supply. Focusing primarily on the inter-war period, how individual councils responded is explored. This reveals diversity, ranging from performances as strong as cities, prioritisation of supply by private-owners, active building of small dwellings within farm-workers’ rent capacities and limited activity associated with poor resources and low wages.]
