4. Provide finance to Councils. Councils should be given the Right to Buy when Landlords sell, or property that
hasn’t been insulated to EPC rating C or fails to meet the decent homes standard, or any property that is
left empty for more than six months, with the total current tenancy discounted, tenants moved to a truly
affordable Council tenancy. Government must change prudential borrowing requirements to allow Councils
to buy back and build new housing on a massive scale. (2024 Manifesto Pg9)
