Our asks of MP candidates

Thank you for sending in your asks of our MP Candidates – these are below

There are serious issues of injustice for the approximately 6,000 people inside the Ladywood Regeneration zone that we ask our MP candidates to commit to addressing by taking the following actions:

1. Meet with representatives of Ladywood Unite both before and after the election to form the basis of future engagement

2. Work to stop compulsory purchase and demolition of freehold houses, good quality and new homes including leasehold houses, and churches

3. Work to prevent the displacement of a diverse and vibrant community, aiming to preserve community and family networks across generations

4. Work to redress power imbalances favouring a luxury developer and the council over residents, advocating for residents to be able to make decisions about their future

5. Work to provide clarity and commitment on plans for social and affordable housing, aiming to update current plans offering no social housing at all, and supporting accelerating repairs for properties that need them now

6. Raise the matters affecting us in the House of Commons, especially the need to close viability loopholes in planning and strengthening diverse community input early on in, and throughout, regeneration planning
