Labour will build a new generation of towns in a bid to tackle the housing crisis, Angela Rayner will say as she attempts to curry favour with the housebuilding sector.
The deputy Labour leader has said the "foundations of our past" are the inspiration for the proposals, pointing to her party's record in Government following the Second World War, when towns like Stevenage and Basildon were built.
Ms Rayner, who is also the shadow housing secretary, will tell the conference a Labour government would set high standards on design, quality, affordable homes, green spaces and infrastructure. She will meanwhile signal Labour is willing to work with "responsible" developers who can deliver affordable homes alongside green spaces, and the schools and transport links residents need.Housebuilding has risen since the last election, with 202,300 new homes started in 2022/23 compared to 187,870 in 2019/20, returning to levels last seen just before the financial crash.
When Sir Keir Starmer set out his "first steps" for a Labour government last week, housing was not explicitly mentioned in the pledge card, but the Labour leader said this would feed into the party's commitment to create economic stability.
