More people are renting privately in Shropshire and Mid Wales than a decade ago, new figures show.
The latest figures from the 2021 census of England and Wales come as a housing campaign group has called on the Government to come good on its promise of a better deal for private tenants.
At the time of the previous census in March 2011, in Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin 15 per cent of households were private renters, while in Powys it was 14.8 per cent. He added that despite the Government recognising the need for reforms in the sector – such as abolishing so-called 'no-fault' evictions – it is yet to introduce legislation to properly support private tenants.
It pointed to a waiting list of more than a million households for social housing across England, saying that the social housing is lost every year to sales and demolitions.
