13/07/10 - Financial Times: Building work slumps
New building work on social housing projects fell 40 per cent during the three months to July, in a sign that government spending cuts are starting to hit the construction sector, writes Ed Hammond. The upward trend in private housing seen earlier this year has also petered out, with the value of new work starting down 2 per cent on a year ago, according Glenigan, the construction data provider. “While social housing starts are likely to remain under pressure over the coming months, a renewed recovery in private housing starts is anticipated at the end of the year as housebuilders capitalise on gradually improving market conditions,” said Allan Wilen, Glenigan’s economics director.

11/07/10 - Telegraph: Social housing construction falls
The Glenigan Index, which measures the monthly flow of construction projects, has revealed that the value of social housing construction projects starting on site in the second quarter was 40pc lower than a year ago. The upward trend seen earlier this year in private housing has also petered out with the value of starts on sites down 2pc on a year ago. Overall, the decline in social and private housing left the residential index down 20pc. New retail projects were down 23pc, but researchers said this was expected to be a temporary blip. "Whilst social housing starts are likely to remain under pressure over the coming months, a renewed recovery in private housing starts is anticipated at the end of the year as housebuilders capitalise on gradually improving market conditions," said Allan Wilen, economics director at Glenigan. He added that this quarter's dip in project starts highlighted the fragility of the recovery.
