Edinburgh Election 2022: SNP pledge £2 billion to help tackle housing crisis

Fewer Airbnbs, fairer rents, two new tram lines and £2 billion for council housing are amongst the promises being made by the SNP as they bid for re-election to the City of Edinburgh Council.

The party, which has partnered with Labour to run the capital since the last vote in 2017, launched its 2022 local election manifesto today (April 16).

Group leader Adam McVey described the manifesto as "a very robust set of plans from the SNP delivering on climate change aspirations, reducing poverty, tackling the Tory cost of living crisis and improving our core services, and I think that our prospectus is by far the strongest of any party to deliver that."
