Hastoe Group Chief Executive Sue Chalkley said: “We welcome the confirmation of Alok Sharma MP as the new Housing Minister.
"As the Minister gets to work, we urge him to consider the needs of rural communities and the acute shortage of affordable rural homes. Hastoe is one of the leading providers of affordable homes in rural areas and we urge the new minister to ensure that housing policy helps deliver more affordable homes in our rural communities. We look forward to working with him and his team to ensure that this happens.”
