Manifesto Launch — 23rd Nov

7PM - 10PM

Affordable Housing

Homes for people, not speculation.

Everyone deserves a safe, warm, affordable home. We’ll build more, keep rents fair, fix standards, and cut bills so families can put down roots.

1) Build more social homes


Speed up new, affordable homes where the need is greatest.

2) Fair rents in hot spots


Cap rises in high-pressure areas so renting stays within reach.

3) Stronger tenant rights


End no-fault evictions and enforce decent standards.

4) Warmer, cheaper-to-heat homes


Insulation first; high-efficiency rules for new builds.

5) Bring empties back into use


Tackle long-term empties and short-lets that squeeze locals.

6) Safer, stronger streets


Support for youth spaces, lighting and local problem-solving with police and councils.

HOW WE’LL DELIVER

  • Clear building pipeline — publish sites, starts and completions you can track.

  • Use public land smartly — partner councils & housing associations.

  • Money where it matters — shift budgets to building, repairs and insulation.

  • One place for renters — simple advice, standards and reporting in one hub.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU

  • More homes where you live.

  • Fairer rents and more secure tenancies.

  • Help for your mental health any time, not just 9–5.

  • Lower energy bills in warmer homes.

  • Faster fixes and safer neighbourhoods.
