Housing Sector Podcast #67 features a follow-up conversation with Martin Donkin on the ongoing issues at Coniston House, involving East End Homes’ modular housing development. What was intended to be a straightforward project has raised serious concerns around resident displacement, building safety, delays, legal action, and trust.

This episode explores the wider challenges facing the UK housing sector, including transparency, access to information, and accountability when housing providers are managing public money and making decisions that directly impact residents’ homes and lives. It also looks at how situations like this escalate, why problems are often prolonged, and what needs to change to prevent similar failures in future.

The discussion highlights the human impact of housing projects that go wrong and the growing need for stronger scrutiny, clearer communication, and meaningful resident engagement across the sector.
