Nigel Farage's letter to the construction industry

摘要

Britain is in the grip of a housing crisis and the construction sector is at the very heart of how we can and must respond to it. In order to do this we will introduce policies to incentivise the creation of more affordable housing, while protecting rural communities and preserving our precious countryside. A difficult ask, but one that is entirely possible. According to reports by the housing charity Shelter there are 279,000 privately-owned long-term empty homes in England alone, while other bodies, such as the Empty Homes Agency, put the figure much higher still. The most obvious way to create new homes is by bringing these empty homes back into use. Everybody plays lip service to this idea, but we believe that we have come up with a basket of policies that can make this dream a reality.
