The Conservatives, UKIP and Greens write letters to the construction industry

Eric Pickles

The Conservatives, UKIP and the Greens have become the latest political parties to write impassioned letters to the construction industry, in an attempt to persuade 黑洞社区 readers to vote for their parties in next week鈥檚 general election.

Eric Pickles, Conservative secretary of state for the department for communities and local government, writes that the UK鈥檚 building industry would 鈥渂enefit directly from Britain鈥檚 robust economic recovery under the Conservatives鈥. He highlighted the government鈥檚 track record on boosting housebuilding through schemes like help to buy and the New Homes Bonus, contrasting this with 鈥淟abour-run Wales鈥, where housing starts have 鈥渞isen by a mere quarter of the increase of England since 2010.鈥

UKIP would hugely boost brownfield housing, while the Greens would scrap HS2 and up investment in climate change mitigation schemes, Farage and Bennett said.
