Housing
As the rising cost of living has continued to hit households across the country, the Green Party has 3 priorities:
3 Green priorities
Warmer homes, lower bills: A £250 billion plan to insulate 10 million homes over the next 10 years - funded by an emergency package of taxes on the super-rich and biggest polluters; emergency insulation grants to help those at risk of fuel poverty.
A freeze on private rents: An immediate freeze on private rents to protect households from unaffordable rent rises.
A ban on no-fault evictions: A ban on no-fault evictions to give renters much needed security during the cost of living crisis.
Warmer homes, lower bills
As well as protecting households from unaffordable rent rises and the threat of evictions, the Green Party also has a plan to bring household bills down for good.
The cheapest energy bill is the one you don’t have to pay because your home is so well-insulated that it needs little or no heating.
The Green Party has a plan to provide £250 billion for local authorities to insulate and upgrade 10 million homes over the next ten years
This investment would be funded by reform to the tax system to ensure the wealthiest 1% and the biggest polluters pay their fair share
The Green Party’s council-led insulation plan would bring down domestic energy bills for good in the longer term. In the shorter term, we would provide an emergency grant to homeowners, landlords and councils to fund immediate insulation improvements to those at risk of fuel poverty, so that those who need support most urgently get it first.
