Help bring empty homes back into use...

I've just heard from the CPRE that there is an Early Day Motion tabled in the House of Commons (and with cross-party support too) calling for a reduction in the rate of VAT on building repairs and improvement work to existing buildings.

This has to be a better and more sustainable way to provide housing than building new houses on our fields - helping protect the countryside and our heritage.

If you agree, please ask your MP to sign EDM 7: VAT on repairs and maintenance to existing buildings.
