We have a cost of living crisis - made by Tory policies but Waltham Forest council could use its powers and resources so working class families don’t pay the price! They could, for example, introduce tomorrow free school meals and breakfast clubs for every pupil, including during school holidays, which would immediately help family budgets. They could reinstate childcare provision in SureStart early years centres - and re-open the hundreds of centres closed since 2010 - to reverse rising childcare costs. They could re-open youth services they criminally annihilated ten years ago. WF council could freeze council home rents and at the same time, through their powers to compulsorily register landlords, combat rising rents - and energy-guzzling poor home insulation - in the private sector.
