Siân Gwenllian MS Working for the people of Arfon

As Plaid's spokesperson on Housing and Planning, Siân Gwenllian MS is working on a series of papers setting out Plaid Cymru's housing proposals before the Senedd election in 2026. The work focuses on the right to a home, the right to live locally, increasing the supply of social housing, and creating quality homes that will lead to lower energy bills.

Building a Future: Plaid Cymru’s Vision for Transforming Social Housing Delivery in Wales

The paper explores the key challenges and barriers to delivery, such as funding gaps, planning system inefficiencies, and limited land availability, while highlighting opportunities like community-led housing initiatives, while offering a revitalised vision for Unnos, considering its potential strategic role as an enhanced, arms-length entity with independent finance-raising capacity and strengthened compulsory purchase powers. It concludes with actionable recommendations and next steps for ensuring Wales achieves a sustainable and equitable social housing future. Click here to read the paper.
