Opposition councillors have called for more ambitious housing targets to help less well-off groups to rent or buy homes.

Members of Barnet Council’s Labour Group called for half of all homes on new developments to be classed as affordable at a meeting of the housing committee last night.

Their comments came during a discussion of the council’s new five-year housing strategy, which includes plans for more than a third (35%) of homes on developments of 10 units or more to be affordable.

Cllr Paul Edwards, Labour member for Underhill, said: “By and large there is some good content in here, but from the Labour perspective this is not ambitious enough in relation to targets.”

Labour councillors called for the target to rise to 50% – in line with the Mayor of London’s affordable homes target.

But Conservative members defended the targets set out in the five-year plan.

Cllr Dan Thomas, Conservative member for Finchley Church End, said lowering the affordable rent target could affect the council’s ability to boost the housing supply.

He said: “We are reliant on social rents to build more homes. It is all very well people getting lower rents – but then we are getting fewer homes.

“I would love rents and mortgages to be more affordable, but realistically, how are we going to build more homes?”

Tax workers are staging a fresh strike tomorrow in a continuing row over the planned closure of their office.

Members of the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) based in Ealing, West London, will walk out for 24 hours, in the third bout of industrial action of their campaign.

A three-day stoppage is planned for next week and is the third time they have carried out industrial action.

PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka said: "HMRC is struggling to recruit and retain staff. With an unnecessary office closure programme and a huge amount of tax uncollected, evaded or avoided, our members demand that their office stays open.

"Ministers need to wake up and start listening to the experts and finally halt this deeply unpopular office closure programme."

A PCS member working at Ealing who did not want to be named, said: "We are the last remaining HMRC office located anywhere near Heathrow airport, and in this time of uncertainty over the implications of Brexit, it makes absolutely no sense to close the office, permanently losing countless years of vital tax and customs experience in the process."

Thousands of people have called for a London council to release a stray dog that could be put down despite having a “loving home waiting for her”.

Newham Council is facing a legal battle over its decision to euthanise Ellie, a mongrel who ran into the Docklands Equestrian Stables on Valentine’s Day.

After finding her, stables manager Terry Minns called the council’s warden service and spent the evening feeding the emaciated animal.

A warden arrived to pick up Ellie the following morning and Mrs Minns said that if no one claimed her she would give her a home.

However, she said she was later informed Ellie was a “dangerous dog” and would be put to sleep.

Mrs Minns hired a lawyer who has taken out an emergency order in the High Court to twice stop the council putting down the dog.

An independent assessor has said she is not dangerous or a pit bull terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino or Fila Braziliero — breeds banned under the Dangerous Dogs Act.

Ellie is now “unfairly sitting on death row”, lawyer James Parry said.

Mrs Minns said: “Ellie isn’t a prohibited breed, she hasn’t bitten anyone and an assessor has declared she is not dangerous."

“A loving home awaits and she deserves a chance to be part of it,” she said.

More than 7,000 people have signed a petition to save Ellie and £3,000 has so far been crowdfunded to help with court fees.

East Ham MP Stephen Timms has also called on the council to reverse its decision.

Newham council’s website says it tries to rehome stray dogs with rescue groups and rehoming centres.

A council spokesman would not comment on the legal case adding, “where there is doubt that any particular dog may present a risk to the public we need to ensure that these dogs are not placed in a position where they may cause harm or injury either to people or to other animals.”
