The Conservative Party has promised to build more
council homes and pledged a new Right to Buy scheme ahead of the General Election to help get “thousands” of people on to the property ladder.
Theresa May said local councils and housing associations will be handed greater powers to build new council homes with some of them earmarked for sale within 10 to 15 years under Right to Buy.
The Prime Minister said her party will “fix the broken housing market and support local authorities and housing associations to build a new generation of council homes right across the country”.
