The delivery of more than 1,000 council homes has been secured by Barnet Labour.
The milestone was announced at a meeting of the council’s Cabinet on Tuesday 15th September.
The council’s planning committee approved 125 more council homes in June 2026 to be provided in Colindale. This has brought the total to 1,012 since Barnet Labour was first elected in May 2022.
It contrasts with the Conservatives who argued that securing more than 100 new council homes per year would be unrealistic.
Major new developments have included a purchase in Colindale Gardens, which provides 249 of the new council homes.
Barnet Labour’s continuing ambition on council homes responds to the ongoing homelessness crisis, with more than 3,000 residents in temporary accommodation in the borough.
Barnet Labour’s Cabinet Member for Homes and Regeneration and Deputy Leader, Councillor Ross Houston, said: “We need more council homes and affordable homes to ensure that our families can afford to live in this borough.
“The Conservatives have never shown any ambition on social housing. Only under Labour are we going to push and push to help families facing homelessness.
“That is what ambition for the borough looks like and Barnet Labour is committed to it.”
