Public housing in the United Kingdom

Public housing in the United Kingdom provided the majority of rented accommodation in the country until 2011. Houses built for public or social housing use are built by or for local authorities and known as council houses. Before 1865, housing for the poor was provided solely by the private sector. Council houses were built on council estates, where other amenities, like schools and shops, were often also provided. From the 1950s, blocks of flats and three- or four-storey blocks of maisonettes were widely built. Flats and houses were also built in mixed estates.

In June 2017, it was reported that nine tower blocks in Pendleton had similar aluminium composite material (ACM) to that in the Grenfell Tower fire. [1]
