Comment on: Ticking the boxes
Carson - we don't know yet. The only model we have to go on are local housing trusts, which were given life by the 2008 Housing & Regeneration Act. They are bodies formed by people in a local area, principally in some rural areas to purchase land and then to enable the building of housing, often by a housing association, for local people. There is one in Cornwall but I forget precisely where.
This government proposes that LHTs can by pass local planning requirements if there is something like 90% local support for housing to be built. -
Comment on: RIP ASBOs
Labour couldn't undo the right wing laws in 1997, Christopher, because they didn't exist then. It was Labour that introduced them post-1997.
I hope they go because they feed our worst instincts and criminalise young people, vulnerable people and anyone perceived as different. There were and still are laws for landlords to deal with bad tenants and for the Police to deal with criminal behaviour.
