It was great to visit West Vale housing development in Coldhurst, thanks to First Choice Homes Oldham for having me.
I met the CEO and directors, discussed FCHO’s future development strategy for Oldham, had a tour of the development, and spoke about Labour’s plans to provide safe, secure and affordable homes for local people – with fighting for decent homes being a priority of mine for Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton at the election.
Labour are tackling the housing crisis in government. We have committed to building 1.5 million new homes; are abolishing section 21 no-fault evictions for renters; are delivering the Homes for Heroes scheme for veterans, carers and key workers; and are carrying out a Brownfield First Strategy – as can be seen locally with the Oldham Town Living Development Framework.
