Families being priced out of London, Assembly told

Families are being priced out of living in London due to rising costs and a lack of social housing, leading to a 20% decline in births compared to 2012, with the sharpest fall in inner London, as reported by the London Assembly. Experts suggest that affordable housing and childcare are crucial to support families staying in the capital, where availability of social housing is a key issue. The mayor's office is working to combat these challenges, highlighting efforts to build new council homes and provide free school meals.
