Comment on: Taking the strain
If rent controls were reintrroduced and we returned to fair rents the debate on benefit caps would become unnecessary. Also people would be able to afford to rent in the private sector and property prices would become more affordable as the rug was pulled out of the buy to rent boom.

Comment on: TMO rejected at third time of trying
Matt I think that's true and I am a great fan of cooperative action however it should be built from the community up, this proposal was seen by some as being imposed from above, based not upon a real community but a council's administrative boundary.
I think TMOs may go ahead in other parts of the council's area. -
