Party’s housing pledges include introducing rent controls and ending right to buy system for social properties
The Greens are reaching out to renters with a huge election commitment on new and environmentally-friendly housing, including a plan to let councils requisition empty properties or ones without proper insulation.
Among other housing commitments in the party’s manifesto being launched today is a proposed £49bn investment programme over the next five years to insulate homes and public buildings, and to fit properties with heat pumps.
