Michael Gove announces £30m to improve social housing in wake of tragic death of Awaab Ishak
Michael Gove has promised £30million to improve social housing following the tragic death of toddler Awaab Ishak.
"The tragic death of Awaab Ishak rightly reinforced the need for action and improving the quality of homes in which every citizen lives is not only a Levelling Up mission but also a personal mission for me," he told delegates at the Convention of the North at Manchester Central Convention Centre.
During a detailed speech that spanned more than 35 minutes, Mr Gove held London's Docklands up as a beacon of Levelling Up success and announced his intention give devolved powers to areas such as Cheshire and Lancashire. Referring to negotiations on the trailblazer deals he said he is in talks to 'strengthen the hand' of both leaders.
