Safer streets, fairer justice
Policing, sentencing, prisons, rehabilitation. How would you do justice better?
The housing crisis isn't just about numbers, it's about building proper homes for our young people, not just ugly boxes on fields.
My biggest frustration with housing is seeing young families, including my own children’s friends, being priced out of the very towns and villages they grew up in. It impacts community so much when young people have to move miles away just
Fix Welsh Housing Before It's Too Late
What's the point of having a country with its own government if we can't even sort out housing for our own people. I mean think about it, we've got Welsh families stuck on waiting lists for years while outsiders buy up properties for holida
Stop Pricing Out Our Kids
What's the point of working hard and saving up if our own kids can't afford to live near us, I mean it's getting ridiculous. I was talking to my daughter the other day and she's looking at flats in Birmingham, prices are just insane, she's
sort out grimsby's housing mess
what's the point of having a town full of homes if none of them are affordable for the people who actually live here, love. I mean think about it, my own kids can't even afford to buy a house in their own hometown, it's ridiculous. I reck
Strong support for affordable housing, with some very minor and entirely reasonable conditions
The Nimby Liberation Front is unambiguous in its support for affordable housing. The country is in a housing crisis. Young people cannot afford to buy. Young families are being pushed out of villages like ours. This is a tragedy and we stan
Enough with the empty houses while people are sleeping rough!
I saw a family yesterday, two young kids, shivering outside the old Boots on Royal Avenue. They’d been moved on by the council twice already that day. It breaks your heart. Meanwhile, I know of at least three houses on my street alone that
Abolish planning permission fees for small developments
The current planning system is a major obstacle to getting new homes built, and the fees associated with it are a big part of the problem. These fees can be a significant burden for small developers and individual homeowners who want to bui
Enough of these 'luxury flats' nobody local can afford! We need proper homes.
I was walking past the old post office down the road the other day, you know the one. It’s been boarded up for ages, an eyesore. Now I hear they’re planning to knock it down and build more of those ridiculously expensive flats aimed at inve
Stop letting developers just buy up villages for holiday lets!
We need a national policy that gives local councils the power to limit the number of new properties built specifically for holiday lets or second homes. My town of Bakewell is drowning in them, and it’s pushing ordinary families out because
Insulate every home in Britain by 2035 as the single biggest climate and poverty measure
The UK has some of the least energy-efficient housing stock in western Europe. Around 19 million homes have an EPC rating below C. These homes leak heat, cost more to run, and push people into fuel poverty. Improving them is simultaneously
Enough is Enough: Let's Actually Build Some Decent Homes for Working People
We need a radical shift in housing policy, starting with a massive, publicly funded social housing building program. This isn't about tinkering around the edges; it's about addressing a crisis that's locking generations out of a secure futu
MPs who vote on housing policy shouldnt be allowed to own rental properties
Quick one this. Something like a third of MPs own rental property on top of their own home. When those same MPs vote on housing policy, tenants rights, landlord tax — they are literally voting on their own income. Imagine if doctors were a
Scrap business rates entirely and replace them with a land value tax
Business rates are a tax on improvement. You invest in your property, you pay more. You leave it derelict, you pay nothing. This is backwards. It punishes exactly the behaviour we want and rewards exactly the behaviour we dont. Land value
Nobody should pay more than 40% of their income on rent
Had this conversation in the pub last tuesday and everyone agreed which is rare because Geoff disagrees with everything on principle but even Geoff thinks rent is out of control. If youre spending more than 40% of your take home pay on keep
We fully support new housing as long as it is built somewhere we cannot see it
We are absolutely committed to solving the housing crisis. Everyone deserves an affordable home. This is a fundamental value of our party and we will never waver from it. However. The proposed development on the field behind Waitrose woul
Let builders build: reform planning from the ground up
Britain does not have a land shortage. It has a permission shortage. Only about 6% of English land is built on. The reason housing is expensive is not that we have run out of space. It is that the planning system makes it extraordinarily di
Make it illegal to build housing estates without a GP surgery
New estate of 500 homes went up near us last year. Lovely houses. Absolutely no infrastructure. No GP surgery. No school places. No bus route. No pharmacy. No park. Five hundred families all trying to register at a practice that was alread
Require 50% affordable housing in new developments
The state of housing in our city is dire, with far too many people priced out of even the smallest apartments. It's not uncommon to see entire families crammed into tiny flats, or young professionals forced to share with multiple roommates
Planning applications should be decided in 8 weeks not 8 months
Our garage conversion took the council 7 months to approve. Nobody objected. Fully compliant with building regs. Seven months to say yes to a brick room. If a standard application isnt decided in 8 weeks it should be automatically approved
Sick of NIMBYs Blocking Progress
I'm at my wit's end with all these local residents' groups constantly blocking new housing developments in our area. It's like they think the world owes them a right to live in a quiet little bubble, unaffected by the needs of anyone else.
