Apologies for the formatting. I put this up for those wishing to check the figures. Ludicrously tonight Cllr Willis claimed that there was no social housing built under a Labour government in Reading.
The correct figure is 2,963.
He also accused the Labour party of being bad at maths.
In fairness I suspect he simply doesn’t know the definition of social housing.
