Housing Strategy 2011 - 2014

We have developed a new housing strategy for Knowsley. Our new strategy is different from those produced previously. It not only addresses the housing issues experienced by local residents but also clearly connects these with all the other big challenges residents face in terms of economic prosperity, educational attainment, health, climate change and overall sustainability.

The housing strategy sets out our vision for housing in the area from 2011 to 2014 and identifies how we will work with our partners to:

Achieve the right quantity and quality of new housing
Continuing to raise the quality of the existing housing stock, services and neighbourhoods
Connect people to the improved housing offer
