Re: Housing - let's just not go there!

No Eagle, what they actually do is visit your property and say "It's a nice place, I'd live here." Then offer a small incentive to move to a new build one bed flat in the form of £2000 and when the occupier has fulfilled their part of the bargain the council say."Because we have had ...
