Number of new homes provded by City of London in the last ten year perid
Dear Common Council of the City of London,
I wonder whether you would be kind enough to give the number of new homes provided to residents in the last ten year period, roughly 2002-2012.
In clarification can I say that I am not interested in the physical nature of the home, house, flat, etc., but rather in the number of family units who have been provided with a home, either brand new or completely re-furbished, for sale or for rent, in the last ten year period.
Very many thanks for your help in this matter.
Yours faithfully,
Ramon Prasad
