We’re all after building more homes, and not just any old homes—we want them higher quality but cheaper to rent and buy. It’s a tricky square to circle with rising costs and a lack of proper control over land ownership and planning reform by the Conservatives.

But fear not, because I’ll be working to secure more funding and investment in housing infrastructure right here in Brighton Pavilion. Let’s amp up the supply of affordable homes, as I team up with the Labour-led Council and housing associations to get those houses built and delivered.

And we’re not stopping there. These homes will be eco-friendly, sustainable havens that’ll will help us to reach our carbon net zero targets quicker.

We’re going to build communities that are well-planned, full of green spaces and amenities that feel good to live, work and raise a family in. A home should be a place where you belong and thrive.

We’ll tackle homelessness and housing insecurity head-on. I’m all about championing solutions and supporting initiatives to provide shelter and essential services. Let’s transition folks into stable, long-term accommodations.

I’ll promote policies to make it more attainable for first-time buyers, and ensure we have plenty of affordable rent-to-buy options.

And here’s the deal for any bad private landlords—they need be held accountable for their practices. So, we’ll keep them in check with a proper register, and ban no fault evictions for good.

For me, a home, is so much more than bricks and mortar. It’s about your health, your job prospects, and that warm sense of belonging in our communities. Let’s build a brighter future, Brighton, where everyone’s got a place to call home!
