Introduction by Carrie Hedderwick, Sheffield People’s Assembly
And Mark Seddon Labour Party
Following the film there will be an opportunity to debate the film
and talk about the scandal of Britain’s Housing crisis
Britain’s housing market is broken. The cost of a house is now 10 times the annual income of the average family – 30 years ago it was 4 times. Council housing has been sold off and not replaced, and private sector rents have gone through the roof. Meanwhile rich speculators are buying up properties as an investment, driving up prices and private builders won’t build affordable housing because it doesn’t make them a profit.
*This price is unlikely to cover costs of film, room and projection. Further donations welcome
