Mayoral hopefuls on housing

8th April 2016

London mayoral candidates Siân Berry (Green Party), Zac Goldsmith (Conservatives), Sadiq Khan (Labour) and Caroline Pidgeon (Liberal Democrats) reveal their housing policies for the Guardian. Mr Khan says he will encourage big business to invest in London’s housing market and ensure that residents come first in the housing queue, while Ms Berry wants to see more cooperatives and self-build to tackle the capital’s housing crisis. Mr Goldsmith wants to improve areas without locking out residents, and explains why he welcomes overseas investment in housing; Ms Pidgeon explains her plans for rogue landlords, and pledges to create a city-wide construction academy for housebuilding.
