• Make housing developers be transparent in Winchester
    Current planning law states that if a developer will make less than 20% profit on a new development, they can ignore a council's regulations about building affordable and social housing. Leaked documents from several developers have shown that the maths they use to work out their profit margins are purposefully misleading, allowing them to claim they will make less than 20% profit on a development by undervaluing the prices of the houses they will sell and over-costing the labour. To combat this Islington, Greenwich, Lambeth and Bristol councils have introduced a policy that forces developers "viability assessments" to be made public. By bringing these dodgy maths into the public domain, Councils, campaigning groups and individuals will be able to hold developers to account and force them to use more honest maths.

  • PREVENT PROPOSED MOVE OF BUS STOP OUTSIDE ERIN COURT
    There are already a number of issues with the entrance to erin court that have been reported to genesis ha. General public are using this area to urinate as well as using it as a convenient rubbish tip. Erin court residents feel that by relocating the bus stop directly in front of our entrance, it will be used for more of these undesirable activities. Furthermore, we are extemely concerned about our safety and security if plans to move this bus stop go ahead. It will be impossible to determine (especially late at night) who will be legitimately waiting for a bus and who might use this as an opportunity to loiter and unlawfully gain access into erin court, thus creating a risk of burglary or assault to the residents of erin court

Manchester has a real problem with housing. If you go out on any day in Manchester you will encounter a large number of people who have been forced to sleep on the streets. The number of homeless people is growing every day and lack of affordable housing is a large part of that. But this doesn't just affect them. More affordable housing will help slow the rise of house prices in ever budget. This is a crisis that affects EVERYONE Notes: [1] Current government policy says that developers can expect to make 20% profit on housing they build. That means that if a developer would make 19% profit on a development that included affordable housing, the developer doesn’t have to build any affordable houses. But because of competition laws these reports can be made secret meaning developers have free reign to manipulate the figures in their favour.
