The Green Party, one of the final political groups to launch their manifesto for the June 8 General Election, wants an end to what it calls “mass council house sales” and the scrapping of Right To Buy across the UK.
It is also calling for a trial of a Land Value Tax to encourage the use of empty land for new homes, and to stop land-banking by developers - which it describes as “speculation.”
The Greens are also calling for “a major programme to build affordable zero carbon homes, including 100,000 social rented homes each year by 2022.” It also gives a broad pledge to take action on empty homes, although without any specific suggestion as to what the action would look like.
