Stop privatisation; improve existing and build a new generation of first class council housing
Council housing top priority
A new generation of council housing will be high on Labour's agenda following the election of Jeremy Corbyn MP as leader. DCH will take the campaign to Labour's conference this week: see leaflet here. Trade unions, Bedroom Tax and benefit campaigns, private renters, delegates and politicians will discuss the next steps to oppose Government plans and win investment in council housing at a DCH meeting: 6pm Tue 29th at Friends Meeting House Brighton, Ship St BN1 1AF. Then on 4 October join Defend Council Housing in a housing contingent on the big TUC People's Assembly march in Manchester. The DCH Contingent assembles 12.30pm by the National Computing Centre, Oxford Rd, M1 7EF. The People's Housing Conference 10 October 10-5 at Friends Meeting House Euston Rd in London, will bring together tenants, trade unions and housing activists.
