Building Sustainable Communities - GE 2024 - Women's Equality

Communities are at the heart of a caring, sustainable society. Right now, there isn't a single place in the UK where a woman can afford to live alone on an average income. Social housing stock has been continually depleted, private rents have been allowed to skyrocket and there has been little done to improve the efficiency of existing homes and protect people from rising energy bills. Inaccessible, expensive and out dated public transport has increased traffic on our roads, reduced air quality and leaves many people isolated.

Greener, fairer more accessible communities are possible. By radically expanding investment in public transport, greener homes and in active travel initiatives we can reduce emissions whilst enabling everyone to thrive. 

  • Invest in a well-connected, integrated and affordable national public transport system, with an emphasis on improving bus services and walking and cycling routes

  • Design services to cater to all users, including flexible and hopper fairs. 

  • A nationwide programme to retrofit sustainable housing with insulation, solar panels or heat pumps

  • Reform regulations, and tighten private rental standards and expand social housing stock 

  • Tighten accessibility and sustainability standards for new build homes.
