It's moving in the right direction. It was in decline under the previous administration.
From John Prescott
We are making the fundamental changes. It was like the decent housing target. We said by 2010, we'd have taken a million houses and refurbished them into decent housing.
We've given more resources. On housing, we are now establishing a regional housing pot.
There is progress taking place, growth is better. We're only talking about two years there.
You go down some street - no doubt it's there, and we have to do something about it, and our programmes are designed to do that - but if that's a picture of Newcastle, it's not the one I recognise and I bet none in the North East do either.
We believe the 36, nearly 40, billion pound discount given for a right to buy houses took a million houses out of the public housing sector which is desperately needed for rent.
