This will only work if the right to buy is abolished.

Would you build a load of new properties, only to have to sell them off.

With right to buy removed, Councils will build new social housing.

Not “Affordable housing” scams, which the wealthly snap up with cheap mortgages, let them out for extortionate monthly rents, with the renters paying the mortgage, and they still make money from the ever increasing value of the property. Completely untaxed.

While we have people screaming out for somewhere decent to live, and we still have right to buy and no social housing for them.

Obscene abuse of the housing system.

labour looking like tories every day they are in power.

I remember a time when councils up and down the country had a homeless person units within their housing department. remember those that helped people find a home.
