UK construction plunges further
Building activity in the UK fell yet further in January, according to numbers released this morning. Glenigan’s index for the sector was a full 18 per cent lower in January 2013 than in the same month a year earlier, driven down by collapsing infrastructure starts – down 44 per cent over the year. The only positive note for builders was the one per cent pick-up in social housing activity.
