The Greens have launched their local elections campaign with a pledge to push for rent controls and a mass programme of council houses built to “Passivhaus” environmental standards, with the party predicting further gains on 4 May.
The co-leaders of the Green party in England and Wales, Adrian Ramsay and Carla Denyer, set out the housing policies in Stowmarket, where the party hopes the local council, Mid Suffolk, could become the first where it gains majority control next month.
