high quality homes needed to tackle the housing crisis. “We are committed to making sure that
everyone in our borough has access to a safe and secure home, and Kidbrooke Park Road highlights how we are making good on that commitment, with over 450 homes for social rent to local people. “We hope this recognition by the
Housing Design Awards will inspire other local authorities to follow our example, by building homes that everyone can afford.” The Housing Design Awards were started in 1948 by Nye Bevan in the
