We just had an article (here on P118) that 430,000 SOCIAL homes don't meet the standard. If they can't sort them out, how do they expect taking on more by effective stealing them from the PRS will help...or will they...

I offered to do this, locally, 20 years ago and they didn’t want to know. Had great success, albeit in small numbers, with the neighbouring council’s Young Person’s Accommodation Team who would, as I requested, guarantor and simply paid the...
