Peter Moss, who is the deputy leader of Preston City Council, has been elected as the new chair of the North West Housing Forum (NWHF), becoming the first person from Lancashire to hold the role.
Established in 1999, the forum meets to discuss housing issues throughout the North West including Lancashire, Cumbria, Cheshire, Greater Manchester and Merseyside.
The NWHF brings together housing officers, developers and elected members from across the region and political spectrum to discuss the issues facing housing and to share ideas and best practice.
Peter said: "My immediate aim is to keep housing and funding for housing in the North West very much on the agenda of all the region’s politicians and policy-makers. A decent home is a fundamental right for everyone and we must end the housing crisis now."
