England's largest councils have called for the next government to set out a long-term plan for housing, as a new report reveals a dramatic rise in rural renting over the last decade.
The new research from the County Councils Network shows that the number of households in private and social rent has increased by over half a million in county and rural areas over the last decade, outpacing the increase in renting in London and the country's other major cities.
Councils are calling for the next government to set out a long-term plan for housing. This should include a renewed emphasis on delivering homes of all tenures, a greater focus on social housing and a review of key policy areas, such as Right to Buy.
