The party said it hoped to win 'hundreds of new Green councillors' when voters go to the polls on 4 May.
The Green Party has pledged to tackle the housing crisis by bringing in rent controls at the launch of its local election campaign.
Ms Denyer said voters"want something different from the status quo - they want, and we hear this again and again, people that are really listening, not taking their support for granted and going about business as usual".Councils currently do not have the legal powers to introduce rent controls, meaning the Greens would have to gain power in Westminster to bring in the policy. Currently, they have only one MP - Caroline Lucas for Brighton Pavilion.
The cost of living crisis has prompted further calls for rent controls - which would allow local authorities to set rent levels or limit any potential increases - as people struggle to heat their homes and pay their bills. However, it does support measures such as allowing rent increases only once per year and increasing the minimum notice landlords must give ahead of any potential hike to two months.he wanted to introduce a bespoke rent control system in the capital, saying renters faced a"triple whammy" of a rise in energy bills, inflation and rent hikes.

Do low-income neighbourhoods have the least green space? A cross-sectional study of Australia’s most populous cities - BMC Public HealthBackground An inequitable distribution of parks and other ‘green spaces’ could exacerbate health inequalities if people on lower incomes, who are already at greater risk of preventable diseases, have poorer access. Methods The availability of green space within 1 kilometre of a Statistical Area 1 (SA1) was linked to data from the 2011 Australian census for Sydney (n = 4.6 M residents); Melbourne (n = 4.2 M); Brisbane (n = 2.2 M); Perth (n = 1.8 M); and Adelaide (n = 1.3 M). Socioeconomic circumstances were measured via the percentage population of each SA1 living on | $21,000 per annum. Negative binomial and logit regression models were used to investigate association between the availability of green space in relation to neighbourhood socioeconomic circumstances, adjusting for city and population density. Results Green space availability was substantively lower in SA1s with a higher percentage of low income residents (e.g. an incidence rate ratio of 0.82 (95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.75, 0.89) was observed for SA1s containing ≥20% versus 0-1% low income residents). This association varied between cities (p | 0.001). Adelaide reported the least equitable distribution of green space, with approximately 20% greenery in the most affluent areas versus 12% availability in the least affluent. Although Melbourne had a smaller proportion of SA1s in the top quintile of green space availability (13.8%), the distribution of greenery was the most equitable of all the cities, with only a 0.5% difference in the availability of green space between SA1s containing 0-1% low income households versus those with ≥20%. Inequity of access, however, was reported across all cities when using logit regression to examine the availability of at least 20% (odds ratio 0.74, 95% CI 0.59, 0.93) or 40% (0.45, 0.29, 0.69) green space availability in the more disadvantaged versus affluent neighbourhoods. Conclusion Affirmative action on green space planning is required to redress the socioecon
