Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EE4MB7 - Editorial image showing Wythenshawe Community Housing Group's new affordable housing development on Woodhouse Lane in Wythenshawe, Manchester, at 216 Woodhouse Lane, M22 9TF. The scheme sits within a wider South Manchester social housing context, where WCHG manages homes and community services across Wythenshawe and continues to promote modern, energy-efficient housing. The Woodhouse Lane site has been reported as a completed affordable rent apartment scheme built on the former SS John Fisher and Thomas More Catholic Church site, with sustainable measures intended to reduce the carbon footprint and help lower running costs for residents. This photograph can illustrate UK social housing investment, affordable homes, community-led regeneration, housing association development, low-carbon construction, fuel poverty reduction, warmer homes and the practical challenge of building new homes that are cheaper to heat and easier to live in. It is relevant to stories about Wythenshawe regeneration, Greater Manchester housing need, Homes England-supported development, sustainable technology in rented housing, thermal efficiency, green building standards, tenant affordability and the pressure on social landlords to deliver both new supply and better environmental performance. The location also connects with Wythenshawe's historic role as one of Britain's major planned municipal housing areas and with current debates about how older suburban estates can be renewed without losing their community identity. Depending on the visible stage of works, the image may show a new build frontage, construction detailing, windows, brickwork, access areas, landscaping, street scene context or site hoarding. It has strong editorial value for housing, planning, regeneration, climate adaptation, retrofit versus new build, public investment, local authority partnership, and the cost of living impact of designing lower energy demand into affordable rented homes.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E424AX - Hilden House on Sankey Street in Warrington town centre is shown wrapped with Park View Residences hoardings promoting buy-to-let apartments and the slogan Your first step to long-term wealth, while early redevelopment activity appears to be beginning at the former office block. The image is a strong editorial photograph of investor-led urban regeneration, office-to-residential conversion and the sales language often used to market off-plan property to landlords and wealth-focused buyers. Reporting in 2025 said Liverpool-based Caro Developments had secured planning approval for an £18m transformation of Hilden House into 100 apartments, with Falconer Chester Hall as architect. Park View Residences and RWinvest marketing material presents the scheme as a converted office building opposite Warrington Town Hall and Bank Park, offering Manhattan and one-bedroom apartments, prices from £164,950 and a 6% assured return claim. That makes the photograph commercially useful for stories about office conversions, town-centre living, private rented sector expansion, buy-to-let sales, housing supply and the growing role of investment platforms in residential development. It is also useful for more critical coverage of off-plan property risk. While schemes of this kind can help bring vacant buildings back into use, off-plan purchases can expose buyers to construction delays, cost overruns, financing changes, market downturns, weaker-than-forecast rents and uncertainty over eventual resale values or yields. The image therefore works well for features discussing the gap between glossy investment promises and the practical risks that remain while construction is only just getting under way. The façade, visible Hilden House entrance, black hoardings, CGI imagery and roof-level scaffolding provide documentary evidence of a project still in its early physical phase

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DX14KY - A wide street level view of a temporary Green Party campaign headquarters in Gorton, Manchester, during the Denton and Gorton parliamentary by election. The shopfront carries a dark green fascia reading GREEN PARTY with the party emblem, and the windows are filled with VOTE GREEN posters and campaign boards ready for canvassing. Small groups of volunteers gather outside, collecting leaflets, poster stakes and banners, checking routes and chatting before heading out to knock doors.
Above the neighbouring units, a large Labour campaign banner is visible with the message VOTE ANGELIKI and FOR UNITY NOT DIVISION, adding political contrast in a single frame. The scene captures the practical mechanics of modern electioneering: a local base used for briefing, distributing literature, coordinating volunteer shifts and running get out the vote activity. It suits editorial coverage of UK politics, grassroots campaigning, constituency work and voter mobilisation, showing the human effort behind street posters, leaflet drops and conversations on the pavement.
This image also works for commentary about changing local loyalties in Greater Manchester. The presence of a prominent Green HQ, busy with volunteers and visible branding, can illustrate a campaign narrative that Labour is struggling to dominate in this patch, with the Greens presenting themselves as the main challenger and attracting tactical and protest votes. On busy streets like this, campaign offices become both a logistics hub and a statement of momentum, signalling to passers by that the contest is real and that the outcome is not predetermined.
Shot in winter light with shuttered shopfronts nearby and everyday clothing, the photograph emphasises place, community and the realities of campaigning in urban Britain. It is useful for news, features and analysis about by elections, local democracy, party organisation and the role of volunteers in building street level visibility.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DX14MA - A large VOTE GREEN sign board for the Green Party stands prominently in the front garden of a semi-detached red brick home in Gorton, Manchester. The board is mounted on a white stake and positioned to face the street, turning an ordinary domestic frontage into a public statement of support during an election campaign. Behind it, the house's bay windows, tiled porch and clipped shrubs create a recognisably suburban, owner-occupied feel, often associated with settled, middle-income neighbourhoods and the kind of voter groups parties work hard to persuade.
The image is a clean piece of documentary election photography, focusing on political branding and the visibility of campaigning rather than people. It suits editorial coverage of UK politics, parliamentary by-elections, local elections, canvassing and get out the vote operations, where the spread of garden boards is used as a simple signal of momentum and organisation. Garden posters also play a psychological role: they normalise a party's presence on a street, create conversation, and suggest that support is not hidden behind closed doors.
This photograph can illustrate stories about voter realignment, local issues, and how parties build a ground game using supporters' homes as temporary advertising space. It also supports wider commentary about climate and environmental politics entering mainstream neighbourhood debate, alongside the everyday pressures that often dominate doorstep conversations such as housing costs, public services, transport and wages. The overcast sky and wintery planting emphasise a typical British campaigning season, practical rather than glamorous, and rooted in place.
The strong typography, high contrast colours and clear composition provide good copy space for headlines and make the image usable for press, web and social media contexts discussing campaigning, political communication, and how parties translate street-level visibility into votes.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DX14ME - A red I'm voting Labour garden placard is fixed to a wooden stake outside a suburban home in the Gorton and Denton area of Greater Manchester. The sign, branded with Vote Labour and the party website labour.org.uk, is positioned beside a parked car and low front wall, making it highly visible to passing pedestrians and motorists. Behind it, a typical red brick semi detached house with bay windows and a small front garden sets a clear, everyday domestic context for election campaigning.
This photograph is strong documentary imagery of UK political campaigning at street level. It illustrates how parties rely on supporters' front gardens as temporary advertising space, turning private homes into public statements during a by election or general election period. The bold red colour, clean typography and large Labour wording make the image useful for news, features and analysis about voter mobilisation, campaigning tactics, doorstep politics, canvassing, leaflet drops and get out the vote operations.
With no faces or canvassers visible, the focus stays on symbols and messaging: a simple declaration of intent to vote Labour, presented in the same visual language used across the country. It can support commentary about local political loyalties, how parties measure momentum through the spread of garden boards, and how residents signal identity and affiliation in their neighbourhoods. The wider scene, including the parked vehicle, garden edging and wintery light, reinforces the ordinary reality of campaigning in Britain, where votes are chased street by street and household by household. The composition offers useful copy space and context for themes such as democratic participation, party branding, political communication, and the contested nature of marginal constituencies across Greater Manchester. It also fits stories linking local elections to debates on cost of living, housing and public services, without staged scenes.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DX14NY - A campaign volunteer kneels on a pavement edge in a front garden, fixing a bright green VOTE GREEN stake board for the Green Party. The scene is candid and practical: a cordless drill in hand, a wooden stake ready to be driven in, and a corrugated plastic (correx) sign laid out on the ground beside bricks and garden edging. It captures the unglamorous mechanics of UK electioneering, where visibility is built one doorstep at a time through posters, boards, leaflets and volunteers willing to work whatever the weather.
This photograph suits editorial stories about parliamentary by elections, local elections, party organisation, grassroots activism, political marketing and get out the vote operations. It shows how support is signalled publicly by households, how parties read momentum through the spread of garden boards, and how campaigning blends civic engagement with ordinary domestic spaces such as driveways, paths and small front lawns. The lack of crowds keeps the focus on the labour behind political messaging, useful for commentary on turnout, persuasion, volunteer networks, and the realities of ground campaigns.
Garden stake boards also bring practicalities: getting permission from homeowners, choosing positions that are visible but not obstructive, and coping with wind, rain and uneven ground. The crisp typography, bold colour and readable slogan demonstrate political branding designed for quick recognition from passing pedestrians and motorists.
Set in the Greater Manchester context of Denton and the wider Gorton and Denton constituency, the image can accompany reporting on voter realignment, local issues such as housing, cost of living and public services, and the way smaller parties try to convert visibility into votes. It also fits broader themes of democracy, community participation and the role of campaign materials in shaping street level political conversation.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAXPY - A multi-storey social housing apartment block on Taylors Lane in The Liberties, Dublin 8, photographed from the street with grey painted brickwork, repeated balconies, windows, railings and a marked wheelchair parking bay visible in the foreground. The image records older inner city public housing provision in one of Dublin's most historic urban districts, close to School Street, Marrowbone Lane and Thomas Court Bawn. Dublin City Council's regeneration material for the School Street and Thomas Court Bawn estate describes an existing site bounded by School Street, Taylor's Lane, Marrowbone Lane and Thomas Court Bawn, containing two five-storey housing blocks with homes and community facilities, with proposals for new and retrofitted council-managed housing. This photograph is useful for editorial coverage of Irish social housing, public housing estates, Dublin City Council homes, regeneration, retrofitting, housing maintenance, urban renewal, accessibility, tenant living conditions and housing supply pressure in the capital. The plain facade, balcony access and roadside setting make the image suitable for stories about local authority flats, apartment living, estate investment, city communities, public realm upgrades, social rented homes and the challenge of upgrading post-war housing stock while retaining communities in place. The cloudy daylight and visible street markings give the picture a neutral documentary feel rather than a promotional tone. It can support articles on housing policy, affordable homes, council housing, regeneration consultation, disability access, neighbourhood change, Dublin 8 planning, The Liberties, inner city deprivation, community services and the practical reality of maintaining older apartment blocks. With no identifiable close-up people, the image remains flexible for news, reports, websites, social housing presentations, local authority case studies and policy features on Ireland's housing crisis and public housing renewal.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3BKDJH6 - A close-up view of a housing protest poster attached to a street pole in Dublin city centre, Ireland, photographed in June 2025. The poster advertises a planned demonstration at Dáil Éireann and describes the housing situation as an emergency, reflecting widespread public concern over housing supply, affordability, and homelessness in Ireland.
The sign features bold red and yellow typography designed for high visibility in an urban environment and references organised protest activity involving speeches, music, and public participation. Such posters are a common feature of Dublin's streetscape during periods of heightened political debate and social mobilisation.
Ireland has experienced sustained pressure on housing availability in recent years, particularly in major cities such as Dublin, leading to regular protests, policy discussions, and public campaigns focused on housing provision and reform. Temporary street posters like this document how political messaging is communicated at ground level in public spaces.
This image is suitable for editorial use illustrating housing protests, urban political activism, social policy debates, cost of living issues, public demonstrations in Ireland, and contemporary civic life in European capital cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EENJG9 - Weathered Flats to Let vacancy signage on a red brick building, with peeling paint, old lettering, a Barlow nameplate and a bold red vacancy strip, creating a strong editorial image for the private rented sector, buy to let housing, rent reform and the condition of older rental homes in England. The shabby sign and tired frontage suggest low investment, empty flats, hard to let property, poor management, weak maintenance standards and the everyday reality behind some rental listings. It is a useful visual metaphor for the Renters' Rights Act 2025 and the 2026 changes affecting private tenants and landlords in England, including new rights, new landlord responsibilities, stronger tenant protection and greater focus on safe, decent homes. Official government information says the Renters' Rights Act 2025 gives tenants new rights from 1 May 2026 and introduces new rules for private landlords, while Shelter says private tenants have new rights from that date. This photograph has strong search value for PRS, private rented sector, flats to let, vacancy, landlord, letting agent, rent increases, Section 21, no fault eviction, tenancy reform, assured shorthold tenancy, periodic tenancy, poor quality housing, damp homes, housing standards, enforcement, local authority housing teams, tenant rights, landlord licensing, property investment, housing market pressure, unaffordable rents, cost of living, housing shortage, rogue landlords, renters reform and English housing policy. The close crop, old sign, brickwork and no people visible make the image flexible for news, campaign, advice, legal, local authority, housing charity, property market, social policy, blog, magazine and report use. It can illustrate the tension between housing shortage and better regulation, where a vacancy sign may not mean decent, affordable or secure accommodation. Also suitable for empty homes, small landlords, letting boards, urban decay, older conversions and consumer warning features.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T35BXW - The Peabody Trust was founded in 1862 as the Peabody Donation Fund and now brands itself simply as Peabody. It is one of London's oldest and largest housing associations with over 100,000 homes across London and the home counties. It is also a community benefit society and urban regeneration agency, with a focus on placemaking, stewardship and a provider of an extensive range of community programmes.
The Trust was founded in 1862 by London-based American banker George Peabody, who in the 1850s had developed a great affection for London, and determined to make a charitable gift to benefit it. His initial ideas included a system of drinking fountains
The Peabody Trust was later constituted by Act of Parliament, stipulating its objectives to work solely within London for the relief of poverty. This was to be expressed through the provision of model dwellings for the capital's poor.
The first block of Peabody dwellings in Commercial Street, Spitalfields. A wood-engraving published in the Illustrated London News in 1863, shortly before the building opened.
The first block, designed by H. A. Darbishire in a red-brick Jacobethan style, opened in Commercial Street, Spitalfields, on 29 February 1864. It cost £22,000 to build, and contained 57 dwellings (i.e. flats) for the poor, nine shops with accommodation for the shopkeepers, and baths and laundry facilities on the upper floor. Water-closets were grouped in pairs by the staircases, with one shared between every two flats. This first block was followed by larger estates in Islington, Poplar, Shadwell, Chelsea, Westminster, Bermondsey, and elsewhere. By 1882 the Trust housed more than 14,600 people in 3,500 dwellings. By 1939 it owned more than 8,000 dwellings.
In its early days, the Trust imposed strict rules to ensure that its tenants were of good moral character. Rents were to be paid weekly and punctually
there was a night-time curfew and a set of moral standards to be adhered to

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RG8YFD - View looking east along the River Irwell in Manchester city centre, showing the Novella apartment buildings and Aviva Studios, the home of Factory International. This stretch of river marks the historic boundary between Manchester and Salford and has become a focal point for large-scale regeneration and high-density urban development.
The Novella residential towers form part of a wave of new riverside housing, reflecting Manchester's rapid growth as a city for urban living, inward investment, and city-centre population expansion. The buildings' contemporary design and height contribute to a changing skyline dominated by modern apartment blocks and mixed-use developments.
To the right of the frame stands Aviva Studios, a landmark cultural venue designed to host large-scale performance, exhibitions, and live events. The building anchors the St John's regeneration area, a former industrial and broadcasting district that once housed Granada Television and associated studios.
Construction cranes and newly completed towers underline the pace of transformation along the River Irwell corridor, where former warehouses and brownfield sites have been replaced by residential, commercial, and cultural infrastructure. Photographed in daylight under a blue sky with scattered cloud, the image documents the continuing reshaping of Manchester as a post-industrial city driven by culture-led regeneration, high-rise living, and riverside redevelopment.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RC3CKK - The Northern Ireland Housing Executive is the public housing authority for Northern Ireland. It is Northern Ireland's largest social housing landlord, and the enforcing authority for those parts of housing orders that involve houses with multiple occupants, houses that are unfit, and housing conditions. The NIHE employed 2,865 persons as of 31 March 2020
Prior to the establishment of the Housing Executive, public housing in Northern Ireland was managed primarily by local councils. Only ratepayers and their spouses could vote in council elections - sub-tenants, lodgers, and adults living with their parents could not - so allocation of housing was distorted for political ends. This largely took the form of discrimination against Catholics to ensure Unionist control of councils, opposition to which was a major plank of the Northern Ireland civil rights movement of the late 1960s. Following civil disturbances in 196869, a commission appointed by the Northern Ireland government and led by Lord Cameron found that grievances concerning housing were the first general cause of the disorders which it investigated. Lord Cameron's report concluded:
A rising sense of continuing injustice and grievance among large sections of the Catholic population in Northern Ireland, in particular in Derry and Dungannon, in respect of (i) inadequacy of housing provision by certain local authorities (ii) unfair methods of allocation of houses built and let by such authorities, in particular
refusals and omissions to adopt a 'points' system in determining priorities and making allocations (iii) misuse in certain cases of discretionary powers of allocation of houses in order to perpetuate Unionist control of the local authority
The Housing Executive was established by the Housing Executive Act (Northern Ireland) 1971. A single all-purpose housing authority for Northern Ireland had been advocated as early as 1964 by the Northern Ireland Labour Party

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RBN9F0 - This image shows two classic official signs mounted on a high brick wall within a UK council housing estate: a yellow warning sign indicating CCTV in operation and a white sign stating No ball games. Together, the signs reflect common approaches used by local authorities and housing providers to manage behaviour, safety, and perceived antisocial activity in shared residential spaces.
CCTV signage has become a familiar feature across social housing estates, parks, and communal areas, intended both as a deterrent and as part of wider community safety and evidence-gathering measures. The accompanying No ball games sign illustrates long-standing estate rules aimed at preventing damage, noise nuisance, and conflict in areas close to homes, particularly where space is limited.
The pairing of surveillance warnings with behavioural restrictions highlights the tension often present in estate design and management between creating safe environments and limiting informal play or social activity. Such signage is frequently cited in debates around children's rights to play, urban design, and the lived experience of residents in public housing.
Photographed in daylight with clear legible text, the image works well as editorial material illustrating UK social housing policy in practice, local authority enforcement, community regulation, and the visual language of control and safety within urban residential environments.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R55JGY - This image shows a Homes England land notice photographed in Grappenhall, near Warrington in Cheshire. The sign clearly states Private Land. No public access or right of way and includes official contact details, identifying the land as being under the management of the UK government's housing and regeneration agency.
The sign is mounted at the edge of a vegetated area, with dense foliage behind it and the sun low in the sky, casting warm golden light across the scene. The sunset backdrop softens the otherwise formal and restrictive message, creating a visual contrast between natural landscape and regulatory control of land access.
Homes England is responsible for managing public land assets and supporting housing delivery and regeneration across England. Signs like this are commonly used to establish ownership boundaries, restrict unauthorised access, and manage liability on land that may be earmarked for future development or strategic use.
Photographed in evening light during golden hour, the image combines themes of land ownership, access rights, public versus private space, and the role of government agencies in land management. It is well suited to editorial use covering housing policy, planning and development, rural and suburban land use, property law, public access debates, and UK governance.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RG1W53 - Heptonstall is a small village and civil parish within the Calderdale borough of West Yorkshire, England, historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. The population of Heptonstall, including the hamlets of Colden and Slack Top, is 1,448, increasing to 1,470 at the 2011 Census. The town of Hebden Bridge lies directly to the south-east. Although Heptonstall is part of Hebden Bridge as a post town, it is not within the Hebden Royd town boundaries.
The village is on the route of the Calderdale Way, a 50-mile (80 km) circular walk around the hills and valleys of Calderdale
The place-name 'Heptonstall' is first recorded as Heptonstall in the 1274 Wakefield Court Rolls, and in 1316 in the Feudal Aids. The name means the stall or stable in Hebden. The name 'Hebden' means rose-hip dene or valley
Heptonstall was the site of a battle during the early part of the English Civil War in 1643.
Historically a centre for hand-loom weaving, Heptonstall's cottages and terraced houses are characterised by large first-floor windows to maximise the light for weaving
In the mid-1980s the paving on a road through Heptonstall was removed, revealing the original stone setts. Although there was a plan to remove the setts, local protests convinced the council to restore them. At the same time the existing concrete street lights were replaced with late 19th-century cast-iron gas lamps. Both developments acted as a traffic calming measure.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MKF7T9 - Scholes is an urban area in Wigan, Greater Manchester, England. Scholes is immediately to the east of Wigan's town centre
separated from the commercial area by the River Douglas.
Historically a part of Lancashire, Scholes is noted for its council estate and series of tower blocks, which are prominent features in this area of the town.
North West England has several places called Scholes. Some, like Scholes in Wigan, are simply areas within towns, however, some are actual villages in their own right which are totally stand-alone.[1]
Scholes was once a ward of Wigan, east of the town centre. As described in the Victoria Histories of the Counties of England, Lancashire (VCH Lancs, Vol. 4), the district formerly had four wards: St George and St Patrick, the innermost divided by a street called Scholes, and Lindsay and St Catherine's outside. It is now contained in the Wigan Central ward.
The Church of St Catherine was consecrated in 1841 and has a small graveyard attached. In October 1864 representatives of James Horrocks of Spennymoor, claiming to be the heir of Robert Ford who died in 1772, took possession of the Manor House' in Scholes and were besieged for some days, to the excitement of the town

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M69CF8 - Section 24 means that private landlords can no longer offset mortgage payments
The Government has made recent changes to individual landlord's tax relief. Since April 2020 buy-to-let landlords have had to pay income tax on the entire rental income, regardless of how much is taken by mortgage interest. Instead, this has been replaced with a 20% tax credit, meaning private landlords with a mortgage can no longer offset mortgage interest costs in full against income tax bills on rent.
As a result, landlords now pay tax on rental income based on revenue rather than their profit after mortgage interest is paid. For those of you thinking of setting up a limited company, you'll be glad to know that mortgage interest is treated as a business expense. That means if your property is owned by a limited company, you can minus the cost before paying corporation tax. If this is something you are considering, it's always smart to obtain financial advice from a registered tax expert.
What are the implications of the Capital Gains Tax changes?
There have been recent tweaks to Capital Gains Tax. This means that buy-to-let investors also face a heftier tax bill on profits when they sell up. The Capital Gains Tax rate on residential property is 28% for higher rate taxpayers and 18% for basic rate taxpayers versus 18% and 10% on other assets.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EDM00R - Editorial image showing Wythenshawe Community Housing Group's new affordable housing development on Woodhouse Lane in Wythenshawe, Manchester, at 216 Woodhouse Lane, M22 9TF. The scheme sits within a wider South Manchester social housing context, where WCHG manages homes and community services across Wythenshawe and continues to promote modern, energy-efficient housing. The Woodhouse Lane site has been reported as a completed affordable rent apartment scheme built on the former SS John Fisher and Thomas More Catholic Church site, with sustainable measures intended to reduce the carbon footprint and help lower running costs for residents. This photograph can illustrate UK social housing investment, affordable homes, community-led regeneration, housing association development, low-carbon construction, fuel poverty reduction, warmer homes and the practical challenge of building new homes that are cheaper to heat and easier to live in. It is relevant to stories about Wythenshawe regeneration, Greater Manchester housing need, Homes England-supported development, sustainable technology in rented housing, thermal efficiency, green building standards, tenant affordability and the pressure on social landlords to deliver both new supply and better environmental performance. The location also connects with Wythenshawe's historic role as one of Britain's major planned municipal housing areas and with current debates about how older suburban estates can be renewed without losing their community identity. Depending on the visible stage of works, the image may show a new build frontage, construction detailing, windows, brickwork, access areas, landscaping, street scene context or site hoarding. It has strong editorial value for housing, planning, regeneration, climate adaptation, retrofit versus new build, public investment, local authority partnership, and the cost of living impact of designing lower energy demand into affordable rented homes.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KA4R7D - The office of the Housing Ombudsman is an executive non-departmental public body of the government of the United Kingdom, sponsored by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.
The Housing Ombudsman Service looks at complaints about registered providers of social housing, for example housing associations, and other landlords, managers and agents. The service is free, independent and impartial. The Ombudsman can also look at complaints about the handling of housing issues by local councils.
In June 2018, the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Excellence in the Built Environment called on the UK government to expand the remit of independent UK ombudsman schemes to cover private house-builders. It recommended a single entry point for ombudsman services spanning the entire residential sector, which would cover the conduct of estate agents (covered by The Property Ombudsman) through to social housing. Within this overarching service, there would be either a number of specialist ombudsmen or specialist divisions one of which would cover new homes

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K1P047 - Gamesley is a residential area within the Borough of High Peak in Derbyshire, England, west of Glossop and close to the River Etherow which forms the boundary with Tameside in Greater Manchester. Gamesley is a ward of the High Peak Borough Council. It had a population of 2,531 at the 2011 Census
The original village of Gamesley consisted of rows of cottages inhabited by workers at the local textile mills, and it remained largely undeveloped until the 1960s, when it underwent considerable change. It was chosen as the location of an overspill estate, built by Manchester City Council. This was in order to rehouse people from decaying inner city areas of Manchester. These housing areas were also built in other towns surrounding Manchester, such as nearby Hattersley on the outskirts of Hyde.
The Gamesley estate was built in 2 half's. The first houses were built by contractors Finnegans which were constructed with
flat felted roofs, pebble dash cladding ground floors and tile cladded first floors. Finnegans houses were equipped with warm air central heating which used gas as an energy source. The Finnegan side of the estate was known locally as the gas side'. In the late 1980s the local authority renovated the Finnegan system built houses, the works included re-enveloping the external building with traditional bricks and mortar. The works also added apex roofing complete with roofing tiles.
The second half of the Gamesley estate was built a couple of years later by George Wimpey using the Wimpey no-fines house building method. The houses were constructed with full pebble dash finish and tiled apex roofing. The houses built by George Wimpey had a solid concrete ground floor which had electrical underfloor heating installed, the first floors of these houses were built with no heating. Due to electricity being the main energy source for heating, the George Wimpey side of Gamesley became known locally as the electric side'.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K1P05X - Gamesley is a residential area within the Borough of High Peak in Derbyshire, England, west of Glossop and close to the River Etherow which forms the boundary with Tameside in Greater Manchester. Gamesley is a ward of the High Peak Borough Council. It had a population of 2,531 at the 2011 Census
The original village of Gamesley consisted of rows of cottages inhabited by workers at the local textile mills, and it remained largely undeveloped until the 1960s, when it underwent considerable change. It was chosen as the location of an overspill estate, built by Manchester City Council. This was in order to rehouse people from decaying inner city areas of Manchester. These housing areas were also built in other towns surrounding Manchester, such as nearby Hattersley on the outskirts of Hyde.
The Gamesley estate was built in 2 half's. The first houses were built by contractors Finnegans which were constructed with
flat felted roofs, pebble dash cladding ground floors and tile cladded first floors. Finnegans houses were equipped with warm air central heating which used gas as an energy source. The Finnegan side of the estate was known locally as the gas side'. In the late 1980s the local authority renovated the Finnegan system built houses, the works included re-enveloping the external building with traditional bricks and mortar. The works also added apex roofing complete with roofing tiles.
The second half of the Gamesley estate was built a couple of years later by George Wimpey using the Wimpey no-fines house building method. The houses were constructed with full pebble dash finish and tiled apex roofing. The houses built by George Wimpey had a solid concrete ground floor which had electrical underfloor heating installed, the first floors of these houses were built with no heating. Due to electricity being the main energy source for heating, the George Wimpey side of Gamesley became known locally as the electric side'.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JJCKWC - On 14 June 2017, a high-rise fire broke out in the 24-storey Grenfell Tower block of flats in North Kensington, West London, at 00:54 BST. 72 people died, including two who later died in hospital, with more than 70 others being injured and 223 people escaping. It was the deadliest structural fire in the United Kingdom since the 1988 Piper Alpha oil-platform disaster and the worst UK residential fire since World War II.
The fire was started by an electrical fault in a refrigerator on the fourth floor. It spread rapidly up the building's exterior, bringing fire and smoke to all the residential floors. This was due to the building's new cladding and the external insulation, since the air gap between them enabled the stack effect. The fire burned for about 60 hours before finally being extinguished. More than 250 London Fire Brigade firefighters and 70 fire engines from stations across London were involved in efforts to control the fire and rescue residents. More than 100 London Ambulance Service crews on at least 20 ambulances attended the scene, joined by specialist paramedics from the Ambulance Service's Hazardous Area Response Team. The Metropolitan Police and London's Air Ambulance also assisted the rescue effort.
Five years after 72 people lost their lives in the Grenfell Tower fire, which broke out on June 14, 2017, the UK government has announced plans to ban the type of cladding used to cover the external walls of the North Kensington high-rise. These revised building regulations are to be put into effect in December 2022.
The inquiry into the disaster concluded, in its first report in 2019, that this cladding polyethylene-filled aluminium composite panels, to be specific was responsible for the fire spreading so quickly..

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JJG085 - On 14 June 2017, a high-rise fire broke out in the 24-storey Grenfell Tower block of flats in North Kensington, West London, at 00:54 BST. 72 people died, including two who later died in hospital, with more than 70 others being injured and 223 people escaping. It was the deadliest structural fire in the United Kingdom since the 1988 Piper Alpha oil-platform disaster and the worst UK residential fire since World War II.
The fire was started by an electrical fault in a refrigerator on the fourth floor. It spread rapidly up the building's exterior, bringing fire and smoke to all the residential floors. This was due to the building's new cladding and the external insulation, since the air gap between them enabled the stack effect. The fire burned for about 60 hours before finally being extinguished. More than 250 London Fire Brigade firefighters and 70 fire engines from stations across London were involved in efforts to control the fire and rescue residents. More than 100 London Ambulance Service crews on at least 20 ambulances attended the scene, joined by specialist paramedics from the Ambulance Service's Hazardous Area Response Team. The Metropolitan Police and London's Air Ambulance also assisted the rescue effort.
Five years after 72 people lost their lives in the Grenfell Tower fire, which broke out on June 14, 2017, the UK government has announced plans to ban the type of cladding used to cover the external walls of the North Kensington high-rise. These revised building regulations are to be put into effect in December 2022.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JJG0CC - Green for Grenfell remembrance tree in North Kensington, London, decorated with handmade green hearts carrying words including strength, love, peace and grace. The image records a public act of community memory connected with the Grenfell Tower fire of 14 June 2017, when 72 people died in one of Britain's most significant modern housing and building safety tragedies. Green hearts became a powerful symbol of Grenfell solidarity, love, dignity and remembrance, appearing on trees, murals, marches and community displays around the area. This photograph has strong editorial relevance for the ninth anniversary in June 2026, as survivors, bereaved families, campaigners, housing professionals and residents continue to call for justice, accountability and safer homes. The tree is wrapped in bright green material, with heart shaped messages hanging among summer leaves against an urban leisure centre or community building backdrop. The visible handwritten words make the scene especially suitable for coverage of memorial events, grief, resilience, neighbourhood activism, social housing safety, cladding reform, public inquiry findings, community trauma and the continuing legacy of Grenfell. The picture also works as a visual metaphor for hope after disaster, grassroots remembrance, resident voice, public mourning and the long fight for truth in the built environment. It can illustrate articles about tower block safety, fire regulation, landlord responsibility, construction product failures, social inequality, London communities, disaster memorials and anniversary campaigning. The natural green canopy and homemade decorations give the photograph a human, local and compassionate tone, contrasting sharply with the scale of the tragedy it commemorates. No people are visible, allowing the memorial objects, words and colour symbolism to carry the emotional weight of the image while preserving a respectful documentary focus.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JKMPM6 - Trellick Tower is a Grade II* listed tower block on the Cheltenham Estate in Kensal Green, northwest London. Opened in 1972, it had been commissioned by the Greater London Council and designed in the Brutalist style by architect Ernő Goldfinger. The tower was planned to replace outdated social accommodation, and designed as a follow up to Goldfinger's earlier Balfron Tower in East London. It was the last major project he worked on, and featured various space-saving designs, along with a separate access tower containing a plant room.
High-rise apartments and Brutalist architecture were falling out of favour by the time the tower was completed, and it became a magnet for crime, vandalism, drug abuse and prostitution. Its fortunes gradually improved in the 1980s after the establishment of a residents' association. Security measures were put in place and a concierge was employed, which led to lower crime levels. By the 1990s, the tower had become a desirable place to live, and although it still contains predominantly social housing, demand for private flats has remained high. A local landmark, it has been Grade II* listed since 1998, and has retained its distinctive concrete facade as a result. A fire broke out in 2017, but the concrete structure meant damage was limited, unlike the nearby Grenfell Tower. Trellick Tower has featured on film and television several times.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy R9GT6J - Help to Buy is the name of a government programme in the United Kingdom that aims to help first time buyers, and those looking to move home, purchase residential property. It was announced in Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne's 2013 budget speech, and was described as the biggest government intervention in the housing market since the Right to Buy scheme of the 1980s. It is an extension of a previous programme called FirstBuy that was aimed solely at first-time buyers. Help to Buy has itself been expanded and extended.
Subject to restrictions, which in some cases vary by country, the types of Help to Buy scheme are:
Help to Buy: Equity Loans: Buyers contribute a 5% deposit, the government provides an equity loan for up to 20% of the property value (40% within London), and buyers must provide the remaining funds themselves, typically from a mortgage. Available only for new-build under a certain amount (e.g. less than £600,000 in England, £300,000 in Wales)
the loan is interest-free for the first five years. This is the most high-profile of the schemes, and is often referred to simply as Help to Buy. Also known as phase one of Help to Buy.
Help to Buy: Mortgage Guarantees: 5% deposit mortgages are available from ten different providers (up from five at the time of its launch), with the government (i.e. taxpayers) acting as a guarantor for the mortgage. Unlike equity loans, this plank of the programme is not restricted to those buying new-build
subject to restrictions, anyone wanting to buy any home in the UK worth less than £600,000 is eligible for the scheme. It is often referred to as phase two of Help to Buy. In September 2016, the UK Government announced that the Mortgage Guarantee scheme would not be extended for 2017.
Shared Ownership: This was already available in the UK via housing associations before the launch of Help to Buy.
New Buy: Allows buyers to purchase a newly built home with a deposit of only 5%

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P8DCT4 - The William Nuttall Cottage Homes are a good example of a planned development by a charitable benefactor, the sweet manufacturer William Nuttall. He set up a trust to provide 'cottage homes for aged spinsters' and the William Nuttall Trust purchased land in Bennetthorpe from the council on which to build these homes. The almshouses were erected in 1930, until then the area between Bennetthorpe and the racecourse had been relatively undeveloped.
The cottage homes were laid out in the pattern of traditional almshouses of standard size set in communal grounds. The buildings comprise a symmetrical group of 24 two storey homes at the centre of which is a linked terrace of eight dwellings around a central archway. To each side are four pairs of homes, each advancing forwards. The buildings are of red engineering brick with stone and concrete dressings and have either 'Rosemary' plain clay tile or Westmoreland slate roofs. The buildings are not identical but have common features and display typical detailing and materials of the inter-war period. The whole site was bounded by a low brick wall with a central vehicular access and symmetrical pedestrian side access.
The William Nuttall Cottage Homes development remains relatively unchanged and continues to have the use for which it was originally intended. Within the conservation area there are no listed structures but all the buildings are considered to be key unlisted buildings.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GJBNHG - Chinatown in Manchester, England is an ethnic enclave in the city centre. It is the second largest Chinatown in the United Kingdom and the third largest in Europe. It has an archway on Faulkner Street which was completed in 1987 and contains many Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Nepali, Vietnamese, Singaporean and Malaysian restaurants, shops, bakeries and supermarkets.
The first settlers to arrive in the city came in the early 20th century
according to the BBC, Many arrived alone and were engaged in what was seen as the traditional trade of laundries. Manchester's first Chinese restaurant, Ping Hong, opened on Mosley Street in 1948, on the eve of a Chinese immigration wave that would commence during the 1950s. Manchester did not have a significant Chinese population, reaching only about 2,000. However, after World War II, there were severe labour shortages, and in response, the government passed the British Nationality Act 1948, which allowed easier access into the country. Additionally, Hong Kong's rapid urbanisation meant that many farmers and traditional residents' homes were being destroyed by the urban sprawl, so many decided to migrate.
The area's beginnings are rooted in the restaurant business, as many Chinese restaurants surfaced soon after the immigration boom. By the 1970s other Chinese businesses began to emerge, such as medicine shops, Chinese supermarkets, as well as financial and legal services, all serving the employees of the expanding number of Chinese restaurants in the area. There was even a Hong Kong government office and a branch of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation during the 1970s. In 1989 the Chinese Arts Centre opened in Chinatown. In 2013 the Bank of East Asia opted to open their first Manchester branch in Chinatown, situated on Charlotte Street. The branch officially opened on 25 October 2013, in a ceremony attended by the Lord Mayor of Manchester.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GJBNNC - Chinatown in Manchester, England is an ethnic enclave in the city centre. It is the second largest Chinatown in the United Kingdom and the third largest in Europe. It has an archway on Faulkner Street which was completed in 1987 and contains many Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Nepali, Vietnamese, Singaporean and Malaysian restaurants, shops, bakeries and supermarkets.
The first settlers to arrive in the city came in the early 20th century
according to the BBC, Many arrived alone and were engaged in what was seen as the traditional trade of laundries. Manchester's first Chinese restaurant, Ping Hong, opened on Mosley Street in 1948, on the eve of a Chinese immigration wave that would commence during the 1950s. Manchester did not have a significant Chinese population, reaching only about 2,000. However, after World War II, there were severe labour shortages, and in response, the government passed the British Nationality Act 1948, which allowed easier access into the country. Additionally, Hong Kong's rapid urbanisation meant that many farmers and traditional residents' homes were being destroyed by the urban sprawl, so many decided to migrate.

A great track from the London Conversations album. this time of year always reminds me of it with all the snowdrops in the hedgerows. Very uplifting that Easter and warmer, longer days just around the corner.
Saint Etienne are an English electronic music band from London, formed in 1990. The band consists of Sarah Cracknell, Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs. They are named of course after the French football team AS Saint-\u00c9tienne
Saint Etienne were associated with the 'indie dance' genre in the early 1990s. Their typical approach was to combine sonic elements of the dance-pop that emerged in the wake of the so-called Second Summer of Love (e.g. samples and digitally synthesized sounds) with an emphasis on songwriting involving romantic and introspective themes more commonly associated with traditional British pop and rock music.
Early work demonstrated the influence of '60s soul, '70s dub and rock as well as '80s dance music, giving them a broad palette of sounds and a reputation for eclecticism. Years later, The Times wrote that they 'deftly fused the grooviness of Swinging Sixties London with a post-acid house backbeat'. Their first two albums, Foxbase Alpha and So Tough feature sounds chiefly associated with house music, such as standard TR-909 drum patterns and Italo house piano riffs mixed with original sounds, notable by the use of found dialogue, sampled from 1960s British realist cinema. Some of these earlier recordings included skits by (Brass Eye) satirist Chris Morris.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4778116608 - 'Simon Jenkins in his book 'England''s Thousand Best Churches' awards St Wulframs church in Grantham a five star rating, in part for the tower and spire. 'Here is the finest steeple in England', he writes. Constructed in the early 1300s, at 282 ft. the spire is one of the highest in the country on a parish church, dominating the views of the town. The church is built of Lincolnshire limestone, probably from around the Ancaster area.
It has to be said that Grantham is a place with a single real claim to fame. Much like Liverpool was the birthplace of the 1960's icons 'The fab Four', Grantham was birthplace of the scurge of the 1980's 'The Iron Lady'. Heady times. In the UK one of 3 million unemployed, Militant Tendancy (I often drank in the same Liverpool pub as Derek Hatton), pit towns desimated and Arthur Scargil. When he said that over 20,000 mining jobs would go they called him mad. He wasn't mad enough, the final figure was over twice that. However, dont get me on that subject....
But if you pass through this way, this church should be worth a visit. Check out its stunning spire and try to find its hippopotamus head. The church is dedicated to St Wulfram, a 7th century missionary born in about 650 AD near Fontainebleau, south of Paris. A quite popular saint of the time.
He was the son of a Frankish soldier but instead of following in his father''s footsteps, he took Holy Orders. He was Archbishop of Sens in 693. In 700 he became a missionary to the pagan Frisians in what is now northern Germany. He died in 720 and was canonised after numerous miracles had been attributed to him. There is a large collegiate church dedicated to him at Abbeville in northern France .
In pre-Reformation times this church contained a shrine of St. Wulfram. The reliquary was probably housed in the Crypt and at times in the upper chamber of the North Porch. The medieval font c1496 is surmounted by a tall and elaborate fixed cover of 1899 designed by Sir Walter Tapper. Inside the cover are three carved figures depicting Edward the Confessor, St Hugh of Lincoln and St Wulfram.
The Francis Trigge Chained Library is a great treasure of the church, established in 1598 when Reverend Francis Trigge, Rector of Welbourn, gave \u00a3100 for the purchase of books to set up the library. There are 356 separate items including a book printed in Venice in 1472, that is four years before Caxton introduced printing into England. Over 80 volumes are still attached by chain to the shelves, preventing their loan or theft. Unfortunately I missed this on my visit.

I once was on a health and safety course. There was a story about a man arriving to hospital with a fractured skull. When he came around apparently a toilet tank had collapsed on to him while on the toilet. Apparently he had pulled the chain and the bracket had collapsed.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
A cracking track that took me back to my schooldays, turned up in todays shuffle on my iPod.
'Tenement Funster' is Roger Taylor's song on the Sheer Heart Attack album. He sang the lead vocals. Backing track consisted of Taylor's drums, Mercury's piano, Deacon's bass and May's Red Special guitar. It's a typical Taylor track about youth and rebellion. It also includes echo effects with May's guitar, like in 'Brighton Rock'. The last couple of guitar notes overlap into 'Flick Of The Wrist'. The original working title for the song was 'Tin Dreams'.
Sheer Heart Attack is the third album by British rock group Queen, released November 1974. It was produced by Queen and Roy Thomas Baker for EMI in the United Kingdom, and Elektra in the US.
The album launched the band to mainstream popularity both in the UK and internationally and at a time when I was at secondary school. My school bag had a big 'Queen' and 'Led Zep' logo scrawled on it. Due to a lack of cash (or bigger brothers) in my house, my school friends and older brothers often supplied the vinyl in a gatefold sleeve, on loan.
The first single, 'Killer Queen' reached #2 in the British charts and provided Queen with their first US Top 20 hit. Sheer Heart Attack was also the first Queen album to hit the US Top 20, peaking at #12 in 1975. Digressing from the progressive themes featured on their first two albums, Sheer Heart Attack featured more conventional rock tracks and marked a step towards the classic Queen sound.
In recent years, it has been listed by multiple publications as one of the band's best works and I would recommend it as a starting point to listen to some of the legacy of early queen.
------------------------
Many tower blocks were built in the UK after the Second World War. The first residential tower block, 'The Lawn' was constructed in Harlow, Essex in 1951
it is now a Grade II listed building. In many cases Tower Blocks were seen as a 'quick-fix' to cure problems caused by crumbling and unsanitary 19th century dwellings or to replace buildings destroyed by German aerial bombing. Initially, they were welcomed, and their excellent views made them popular living places.
Later, as the buildings themselves deteriorated, they grew a reputation for being undesirable low cost housing, and many tower blocks saw rising crime levels, increasing their unpopularity. One response to this was the great increase in the number of housing estates built, which in turn brings its own problems. In the UK, tower blocks particularly lost popularity after the partial collapse of Ronan Point in 1968.
Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland, is believed to contain the highest concentration of tower blocks in the UK - examples include the Hutchensontown C blocks in the Gorbals, the 20-storey blocks in Sighthill, and the 31-storey Red Road flats in the city's north east. However, on the whole, London has the largest number of high-rise residential buildings in the UK
Greater Manchester had more than its fair share of tower blocks, one of the worst examples being in Hulme. In Hulme, a new and (at the time) innovative design for deck access and tower living was attempted. This consisted of curved rows of low-rise flats with deck access far above the streets was created, known as the 'Crescents' (which were, with unintentional irony, architecturally based on terraced housing in Bath).
In this arrangement, motor vehicles remained on ground level with pedestrians on concrete walkways overhead, above the smoke and fumes of the street. People living in these new flats were rehoused from decaying Victorian slums which lacked electricity, running water, bathrooms or indoor toilets, and were mostly overcrowded.
The names of the 'Crescents' harked back to the Georgian era, being named after architects of that time: Robert Adam Crescent, Charles Barry Crescent, William Kent Crescent and John Nash Crescent, together with Hawksmoor Close (a small straight block of similar design attached to Charles Barry Crescent). At the time, the 'Crescents' won several design awards, and introduced technologies such as underfloor heating to the masses.
They were also popular because they were some of the first council homes in Manchester to have central heating. The development even had some notable first occupants, such as Nico and Alain Delon.
This is an old shot of mine, but thankfully a lot of this system built housing has now been replaced or renovated in Manchester. The local city council and its housing associations like City South HA that covers Hulme are on track for a high proportion of dwellings to meet Decent Homes standard by this years target.
This was a three shot panorama shot in infra-red.

Imperial Point was the first of the high-rise residential buildings on the Quays: a 16-storey tower built alongside the Lowry Outlet Mall on Pier 8 (Central Wharf) in 2001. Finished in sand-coloured cladding with grey and steel finishes to the roof, service cores and balconies, the lower levels are integrated into the mall.
Sovereign Point is the sister building of Imperial Point, towards the rear of the Lowry Outlet Mall. Completed in 2005, its 20 stories are residential, except for some commercial units at ground level, including Sovereign Food and Wine, the Quays' first grocery store. The tower's design was controversial and regarded as having a poor aesthetic on all but the water-facing elevation and is in stark relief to the neighbouring low-rise Winnipeg Quay.
The NV Buildings were designed by Broadway Maylan and completed between 2004 and 2005. The development consists of three 18-storey residential towers, each 180 feet (55 m) in height. Costing £36 million, they stand in a line overlooking Huron Basin from the waterside of Pier 9 (North Wharf), their curved frontages are designed to represent sails. At night, the buildings are illuminated by green lights atop curved poles, and green flood light to either side. The Type 3 apartment in the NV Buildings won gold for Best Apartment in 2004 What House? awards.
The City Lofts construction began in 2005 and completed in late 2007. The development consists of two linked towers: one 9 stories, the other 19 stories. They are on land adjacent to the bund carrying the Quays road, which separates the Manchester Ship Canal from the cleaned water of the Salford Quays basins.

Do you ever wonder about the vendor?
Ever look them in the eye? Wonder where they live? How your 90p or a pound helps?
Back in 1995 where I lived in Warrington, the local county council would not authorise its sale. Therefore nobody saw anyone selling it on the streets. Easy for everyone to assume there is no homelessness problem.

More about 'The Big Issue'...
The Big Issue is a street newspaper published in eight countries
it is written by professional journalists and sold by homeless individuals. It was founded by John Bird and Gordon Roddick in September 1991. The Big Issue is one of the UK's leading social businesses and exists to offer homeless people the opportunity to earn a legitimate income, thereby helping them to reintegrate into mainstream society. It is also the world's most widely circulated street newspaper.
To become a vendor, one must be homeless or vulnerably housed or marginalised in some way. The Big Issue recognises, however, that for many people, being housed is only the first stage in getting off the streets
therefore, The Big Issue Foundation exists to support vendors in gaining control of their lives by tackling the various issues which lead to homelessness.
The Big Issue has been described as one of the most successful street newspapers worldwide, selling over 300,000 copies a week and listed as the third-favourite newspaper of young British people (age 15 to 24) in 2001.
There are 5 localised editions of the magazine sold throughout the United Kingdom and vendors buy The Big Issue for 85p[7] and sell it for \u00a31.70. The magazine is also produced and sold in Australia, the Republic of Ireland, South Africa, Japan, Namibia, Kenya, Malawi and Taiwan. All vendors receive training, sign a code of conduct] and can be identified by badges which include their photo and vendor number

She hopes next year the local borough council will fund a permanent night shelter.
Even if they do, she will most likely put as much effort.
