End the Help to Buy scheme and instead direct this funding into social housing

Closed 1,191 signatures

What the petition asks

The UK government's funding of the Help to Buy scheme constitutes a fundamental misuse of public funds and fails to deliver the much needed affordable housing for the people of the UK. Property developers are profiteering at the nation's expense whilst failing to provide homes we so desperately need
