-
Defend existing Council housing and campaign for a new Council housing programme to address unmet housing need;
-
Campaign against exploitative private sector landlords and poor living conditions, for regulation of the sector, more secure tenancy and cheaper rents;

Campaign for 'development' which provides homes for need rather than speculative building and profiteering' by 'developers' and house builders.
We will also be producing a leaflet directed at the private rented sector and delivering in the areas where there is a concentration of the PRS. If you are prepared to help deliver please let us know and we will inform you when we will doing so.
