New Manifesto for Council Housing Launched At DCH Conference

More than 250 delegates from 45 areas signed up to a new Manifesto for Council Housing at Defend Council Housing's annual conference last week. Speakers at the event in central London included Austin Mitchell MP, who demanded that the Government release its detailed council housing finance reform proposals without further delay. Eileen Short, chair of DCH said: "Support for council housing is growing and broadening, as the conference has shown. "We have forced government to shift policy. Now we will step up the campaigns against privatisation and demand that any politician who wants our votes pledges in writing their support for our Manifesto."
