Interesting to see what happens with council flats going up on the site where the council demolished the community centre. 81 flats going in there.
Shared ownership isn't 'the housing association model'.

It can apply to council housing new build as well as other registered providers.

There are about 110,000 housing association shared ownership homes out of 2.8m total stock. (Council housing - including ALMO managed - is down to about 1.6m).
