Mr Clewer questioned why rural England should "build houses for London" (Image: Wiltshire County Council ) A council leader in one of Britain's most unspoilt rural corners has slammed new Labour housing targets he said could cover green fields with "soulless modern estates". Wiltshire County Council leader Richard Clewer said he was "livid" about Angela Rayner's huge home building drive which has seen targets for Wiltshire shoot up by "81 percent". Ms Rayner has been accused of "shredding" housing targets for London where most new houses are needed, favouring instead to push up numbers in Conservative rural areas by as much as 99 percent.
At the same time the Deputy Prime Minister has announced she is cutting the London quota by 20,000 homes. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
