-We would ensure all residents have warm, safe, economical housing, by improving insulation for some of the worst properties in our district, which would reduce energy bills as well as reduce the carbon impact of heating homes.
-We would make the District Council a Housing Authority and build housing for social rental, for the needs of the local community, based on the now 4,000 people (2023 Figures) on the waiting list for social housing in the area.
-We would build bungalows for people who are currently over-occupy (where a single person occupies a 2/3 bedroom house). By downsizing to a bungalow, the 2/3 bedroom property could house a family of 4.
-We would encourage all developers to work toward the passivHaus standard/ 0 Carbon, this would require all new properties to meet the following standards: Solar Panels on new builds, High-quality Insulation, draft-proof windows and fittings, and environmentally conscious building materials and practices.
-We would bring in a cheap 30-minute parking option for visitors who only need to park for a short period of time.
