Labour's Infrastructure Projects Delayed, Housing Targets Off
Update: 2025-12-22
Description
Labours Infrastructure Promise Falters: Delays, Housebuilding ShortfallLabours government is struggling to meet its ambitious infrastructure project target, with delays and a potential shortfall in housebuilding. A report from the Centre for Policy Studies reveals that ministerial delays have pushed back more than half of the twenty-seven key projects, resulting in nearly four years of total delay across fourteen projects. This pace suggests Labour may approve only one hundred seven projects, missing the target by almost a third. Additionally, new numbers indicate a potential shortfall in housebuilding, with just two hundred four thousand expected in England this year instead of the three hundred thousand goal. Government officials maintain they are on track, attributing the issues to dithering ministers rather than the planning system itself.
