What a Green administration in Dorset would do
Dorset Council should directly provide genuinely affordable housing, especially for rent, and suitable for young people. We would use Council land, build new Council houses, and buy up and convert suitable existing housing. We would pay for this using the £15m the Council expects to receive from capital receipts each year borrowing, and funding interest from rents.
We will seek to use the planning system to deliver the right houses in the right places and at the right prices.
