Decent Homes

We all want where we live to feel like home, to feel safe and secure.

The Coalition has made this more difficult by pushing through the hated bedroom tax for social tenants, allowing landlords free reign to raise rents faster than inflation, and failing to invest in the supply of housing so that homes are over-priced and out of reach for many.

We will:

Abolish the cruel and unfair bedroom tax.
Build 500,000 social rented homes by 2020 and bring empty homes back into use to ensure everyone has access to an affordable place to live.
Cap rent and introduce longer tenancies to provide greater protection for renters.

Bristol City Councillors have supported calls for an end to immigration detention today, by adding their voice to the cities supporting the ‘These Walls Must Fall’ campaign.

After Greens in Bristol passed a motion to declare a Climate Emergency and move forward the city’s ‘carbon neutral’ target to 2030, London Assembly Greens have passed a similar motion challenging London Mayor Sadiq Khan to “set a precedent for other major and world cities” and commit to the same 2030 target.

Bristol's Green MEP, Molly Scott Cato, has written to all 55 South West MPs urging them to reject Theresa May’s Brexit deal in next week’s crucial parliamentary vote. She has urged them to back a People’s Vote instead – effectively handing the decision on the country’s future back to voters.

Green Councillors have submitted a motion to a coming Full Council meeting (11 December) supporting calls for an end to immigration detention in the UK. The motion, proposed by Green councillor Fi Hance and seconded by Labour councillor Ruth Pickersgill, calls on Bristol’s Mayor to endorse the ‘These Walls Must Fall’ Campaign (1), lobby the UK government, and work with local MPs and other councils to push for changes in immigration law and alternatives to detention.(2)
