The Green Party launched its local election campaign, with a pledge to support councils to massively increase their supply of affordable housing.
This would include providing funding to councils to meet their needs for affordable social housing, as well as lifting the overly restrictive rules on council borrowing for housebuilding.
Ending Right to Buy is another pledge, enabling local authorities to keep council homes available and affordable in the community for good.
The Green Party also propose creating a 'community right to buy', giving councils, housing associations and community housing groups first refusal to buy certain properties that come onto the market.
