Rochdale Boroughwide Housing will not receive its expected £1m funding from the Affordable Homes Programme until the regulator has concluded its investigation, Michael Gove said
and said it"must never be allowed to happen again", in a letter to every English council leader and social housing provider
This includes £2.3m for Greater Manchester - including Rochdale and surrounding councils - to increase the use of fines where a landlord is found to have committed an offence; £678,000 for Leeds to use behavioural science to change culture among landlords and £1.1m for Cornwall to create a database of private rented accommodation in the area.
"It is not right that taxpayers money should go to allow an organisation to expand, particular an organisation that was paying its chief executive north of £150,000. They should not be getting extra cash until they use the money they already have to improve housing.
